About the Summer School
Inequality has been the focus of much academic, media, and development attention over the last decade. But what is it? Does it matter? What causes it? And what can national and international policy makers and development actors do to address it?
Learn, network, and engage.
Delivered by Global Policy in association with the Springfield Centre, the summer school brings together world-leading academics and experienced practitioners. Part of Durham University, a world top-100 university with an enviable academic reputation, Global Policy brings a distinctive perspective to understanding global issues. The summer school offers a unique opportunity to learn about the latest innovations in development theory and practice, engage with pressing global issues, and network with participants from diverse backgrounds.
With keynote addresses by David Held, Stuart Corbridge and Robert Wade, the summer school programme will be delivered by a number of leading academics from across the UK including Professor Robert Wade (LSE), Professor Gina Porter (Durham), Dr Jutta Bakonyi (Durham), Dr Siobhán McGrath (Durham), Patricia Parker (Practitioner: Kids for Kids), Simon Levine (ODI), Dr Lucio Esposito (UEA), Alan Gibson (Springfield Centre), Rob Hitchins (Springfield Centre), Dr Ben Taylor (Springfield Centre) and more.
