This workshop will bring together an interdisciplinary group of development researchers, to look critically at the current state of play on financialised development and the private financing of development across a range of geographical contexts. In particular, it will examine the effects of these recent trends on development beneficiaries from a comparative perspective, identifying emerging patterns – and emerging forms of resistance – as the financialisation of development and associated cycles of credit and debt become embedded within diverse state, private sector and philanthropic initiatives.   

This is an in-person event, supported by QMUL’s Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences (IHSS) and its Centre on Labour, Sustainability and Global Production (CLaSP). If you would be interested in attending this workshop, please contact Dr Jessie Sklair at j.sklair@qmul.ac.uk
