Insights from the South: Challenging Development Perspectives from the Ground

Insights from the South is a new event format by IDEAS Globally, to create the space for knowledge exchange between London and the Global South. Our theme for this event is 'Designing for Development': how can external efforts for development be improved through perspectives from the ground?

Come listen to IDEAS Globally authors present their Insights on key issues in Development today, and have your perspectives challenged by our international speakers - community leaders, business people and artists who connect us with the local reality of each topic. Witness conversations that will change your perspective of development and North-South relations.

IDEAS Insights are short academic briefs written by members of the IDEAS Globally international network, providing thought leadership on development and social enterprise. They have been viewed over 6,000 times (and counting!). This event will use selected insights as the starting point for deeper discussion of issues in the Global South.

Our Selected Insights authors:
- Tamas Katona: "Narratives of Development (Hungary’s Social Enterprise Landscape in Historical Context)".
- Kristina Funk & Alyette de Royere: "Women in Nepalese Healthcare as a Potential for Development".
- Joe Forsdick: "Grids & Batteries: Strengthening Energy Reliability against Natural Disasters".

Our Outsights leaders:
- Dr Estella Carpi, Postdoctoral Research Associate: "Analysing South-South Humanitarian Responses to Displacement from Syria: Views from Lebanon, Jordan and Turkey".
- Shamim Azad, writer and poet: "The Significance of British-Bangladeshi Bilingualism and History in my Writing and Social Activism".
