What political voice is and why and how it matters – and for whom – has emerged as a central area of interest and engagement in international development.
Understanding people and what they are looking at in anew normal and an emerging pandemic, It's high time they look in the mirror about their views and look beyond themselves to embrace their community.
Progress is both a necessary and a dangerous idea. It is necessary if one tries to improve the way things are, and it is dangerous because the pursuit of progress has often given rise to experiences of paternalism, colonial domination, and narratives of civilizational superiority. In my research, I try to defend a critical account of progress by distinguishing between moral and political progress, and by exploring the relationship between political progress and justice. I believe that we make progress not when we approximate an idea of justice that is always known to us, but when the political institutions we construct reflect what we learn from the trials and failures of the past.
It's time to learn more about people, politics, and progress.
