Welcome to the Decolonising Development Research Podcast, a project led by the Interdisciplinary Global Development Centre (IGDC) at the University of York. In this trailer, Dr Saba Joshi, IGDC's Deputy Director, explains the background to the podcast and introduces its host, Dr Joseph Gascoigne.
The podcast explores the practicalities of decolonising research. Throughout the series we will hear from experts with first-hand experience, drawing on perspectives from fields as diverse as public health and film-making. Through round-table discussions and one-on-one interviews we will explore how our guests have overcome the challenges of decolonising research, including navigating cultural differences, incorporating unorthodox methodologies, and dealing with institutional resistance to new approaches.
This podcast is designed for researchers of any discipline and at any stage of their careers and hopes to be a resource for researchers wanting to work towards decolonisation.

The podcast is supported by the Enhancing Research Culture Fund at the University of York and developed in collaboration with partners at the Federal University of Bahia in Brazil. It is recorded at the University of York's Creativity Lab and is produced by Kitty Turner.
