INDRAJIT ROY

I am Senior Lecturer - Global Development Politics at the Department of Politics, University of York. Prior to joining York, I was ESRC Research Fellow at the Department of International Development and James Martin Fellow at the Oxford Martin School and International Migration Institute (IMI) Network. I was also a Junior Research Fellow at Wolfson College and Research Associate at the Department of International Development, University of Oxford.  

 

I research and teach the politics of development, understood broadly as an ensemble of practices, processes and possibilities that encompass economic change and social transformation. My work illustrates the profound ways in which agents in the Global South disrupt prevailing understandings of development, thereby exploring the global possibilities of development and reframing the discipline. (read more...)

I hold a DPhil in Development Studies from the University of Oxford.
