The Department is the focus at Oxford for teaching and research on international development: the understanding of change and inequality in developing countries, and the interaction of these countries with the rest of the world.
We are known for a critical and multi-disciplinary approach, translating social science theory into empirical understanding and providing rigorous evidence for change that can benefit ordinary people in a global context.
