Land, Labour and the Politics of Development Study Group webinars
The Land, Labour and the Politics of Development Study group webinars will resume in September 2024 and will be held every other month rather than bi-monthly as was the case in the 2023.
In 2023, the Land, Labour and the Politics of Development Study group launched a series of webinars under the leadership of Dr Rama Salla Dieng (University of Edinburgh). Between September 2023 and June 2024, ten webinars were organised in total, on crucial and diverse topics. Find out more about the study group and sign up for the study group newsletter.
