Promoting interdisciplinary research and partnerships to address pressing global development challenges.
The University of York’s Interdisciplinary Global Development Centre (IGDC) is a major cross-faculty initiative that brings together a wide community of scholars working on global development.
We support our members to work with academics, networks and partners across and beyond the University to develop research that is people-focused and addresses the urgent and structural challenges of global development.
The rapidly changing political environment for global development has had shocking consequences for those at the sharp end of injustices, planetary crises and conflict. Two IGDC events consider this changed landscape.
IGDC supports members to win a research grant to understand evidence-use practices in coastal resilience policies in Thailand.
The first network event workshop of the EU-funded project “Understanding Latin American Challenges in the 21st Century” co-hosted by the IGDC in York
IGDC runs events throughout the year exploring the key issues and contexts of global development.
Come along to an event and hear about the latest work being developed by IGDC members and guest speakers, or see our past events.
There are no events to show here right now. Please check back another time.

In this presentation, Teodora Todorova outlines the role played by the case of Palestine-Israel within the field of settler colonial studies. It also considers how scholarly and activist understandings of the geopolitics of the Palestine-Israel have been shaped by the mainstreaming of a settler colonial framing.
This webinar is concerned with the implications of these profound changes on the lives of the most vulnerable, on existential planetary crises, and on the future of development cooperation. We invited three experts: Duncan Green, Indrajit Roy, and Sayed Jalal Shajjan to share their perspectives on the impacts of these changes on global development and humanitarian assistance.
