A recent ODID research roundtable focused on citizenship. While we may think of citizenship as a legal status, as the rights and duties and relationships that people have to the state, it’s conceived of much more broadly, for example encompassing lobbying, allocation of rights and resources, resistance, and transformation. 

Curated by ODID alumna Julie Taylor, Entangled is a thought-provoking art exhibition at Oxford’s Rhodes House, examining memorialisation, decolonisation and legacies of violence in Southern Africa.

As development thinkers challenge the construct of ‘the South’, our research explores its layered origins and argues that it can play a constructive role in understanding and addressing global power asymmetries.
