Dr Salmah Eva-Lina Lawrence x The Majority World – what’s in a phrase?
Description
How can we shift the language of international development to better reflect global realities? With Dr Salmah Lawrence, a leader in development thought and practice, we talk about her influential article that challenges the terms "developing world" and "Global South." Salmah explains the concept of the "Majority World" and argues for a new approach to development that includes social and cultural factors, not just economic ones.
Salmah shares her vision for Australian development policy, by tackling the Lab’s standing hypothetical.
