The paradox of DFID: an analysis of UK aid under austerity economics

Date, time and place: Monday 26 October at 16.15-17.30. Eilert Sundt¡¯s building, auditorium 6

Dr. Emma Mawdsley is a Reader in Geography at the University of Cambridge, researching the politics of international development. She has a particular interest in South-South development cooperation, but also in how this growing phenomenon and other national and global shifts are affecting the 'traditional' donors. Recent work includes research on DFID's growing private sector-led growth agenda, which will also be the topic that will be addressed in her guest lecture at UiO.
