The Centre for Global Development hosts and delivers numerous development related events.
Each year we hold our Annual Lecture and invite a prominent academic or senior figure from the development field to speak on a current development issue
What does it feel like to be in the field? Methods books only go so far in preparing PGRs for the emotional challenges and dilemmas they face when conducting fieldwork in development research. Fieldwork can be emotionally demanding, but this aspect has often been left out of methodological reflections. This RiDNet Conversations event foregrounds this issue, creating a space for PGRs and postdocs to share experiences of navigating emotions in fieldwork.
You are warmly invited to an online book launch to celebrate the publication of the first book and in-depth study published on the role of the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) in the global politics of neglected tropical diseases.
We are pleased to invite you to our next Researchers in Development Network (RiDNet) gathering, bringing together PGRs and postdocs working on global development issues from across the University of Leeds. đŁď¸Â RiDNet Conversations Adapting Research Design: Dealing with the Unexpected in the Field đ  Thursday 27th November đ 14:00 - 15:00 đ Baines Wing SR 2.14...
