About IGDC
Supported by the University’s Strategic Investment Fund, the Interdisciplinary Global Development Centre (IGDC) is a major new interdisciplinary Centre for research and teaching in global development at the University of York. 
The IGDC aims to meet development challenges through global efforts spanning traditional disciplinary and sectoral divides. The new Centre is led by the Departments of Politics, Environment and History and IGDC members are drawn from Departments across the Faculties of Social Science, Science and Humanities. The Centre supports citizenship for global development through teaching programmes and student placements and through commitment to research for the benefit of communities and disadvantaged social groups. The IGDC vision is to promote interdisciplinary research and engagement that contribute to a transformative agenda that is equitable, fair and sustainable, and places people and environment at the centre of policy responses to global development.
