A picture says more than...what the UN looks like


Sometimes there are these rare moments when the anthropologist in me gets really excited. A friend of mine who works for the UN in Kenya allowed me to share this fantastic artefact, a picture taken at the end of the visit of three senior UN officials, WFP's Josette Sheeran, UN Women's Michelle Bachelet and UN High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres to the ‘world’s largest refugee camp’ in Dadaab.
It’s global multiculturalism in a nutshell; if somebody asks me ‘what does it look like to work for the UN?’ I will say ‘just like this’:

Should I consider a PhD in International Development Studies?

After the Economist’s piece on the (non-)value of doing a PhD and some comments later (e.g. Prometheus doesn't read the Economist (I like the slightly cynical dichotomy between ‘civilians’ and the ‘academic insiders) or the ' 100 Reasons NOT to Go to Graduate School ' (they are only halfway through so check it out regularly in the future...) I had an interesting conversation with a prospective PhD student a few days ago. This was not the first time that I had been approached about doing a PhD and I always try to be as frank as possible, even playing the ‘devil’s advocate’ when it comes to the complicated ‘should I or shouldn’t I?’ decision-making process. At the end of our conversation I sat down and tried to summarize a few important and generic points from the point of view of doing a PhD in Development Studies and in the UK . I understand that every case is different and involves a range of motives, options and rationales, but there a few important questions and t...

Handbook on Humanitarianism and Inequality - Chapter 38 - Discussing inequalities in evaluation of humanitarian action

Image
Every two weeks I am going to feature one of the chapters of our Handbook on Humanitarianism and Inequality which was published in spring 2024. This week we are taking a closer look at Chapter 38 - Discussing inequalities in evaluation of humanitarian action - contributed by Bonaventure Gbétoho Sokpoh and Tobias Denskus. From the introduction  This chapter is based on an interview with Bonaventure Gbétoho Sokpoh (BGS) that was conducted by Tobias Denskus (TD) in May 2022 via Zoom. The chapter presents excerpts from the interview, which were edited for length, clarity, and reading flow.  In the spirit of the Handbook we inserted academic references to the text afterwards to frame the different sections of the interview. These references point the reader to further academic references, policy guides, practical resources, and evaluation reports. However, the critical reflections from an expert with unique insights into the ‘engine room’ of humanitarian evaluations – as local e...

Handbook on Humanitarianism and Inequality - Chapter 34 - Humanitarian research ethics and the ethics of research in humanitarian settings

Image
Every two weeks I am going to feature one of the chapters of our Handbook on Humanitarianism and Inequality which was published in spring 2024. This week we are taking a closer look at Chapter 34 - Humanitarian research ethics and the ethics of research in humanitarian settings - contributed by Shashika Bandara, Elyse Rafaela A. Conde, Abeer Dakik and Matthew Hunt. From the introduction  Research plays critical roles for better understanding and responding to humanitarian crises. It can yield knowledge about the nature and extent of the impact from disasters, armed conflict, and displacement, and the needs and experiences of the populations that are affected. Such knowledge can support efforts to improve the structures and processes of humanitarian aid provision. Yet, humanitarian research also presents practical and methodological challenges. Whether implemented with a focus on improving humanitarian operations or with broader goals for knowledge generation, designing and imple...

Handbook on Humanitarianism and Inequality - Chapter 39 - Pracademvism – forever unequal or the new nexus in global development and humanitarianism

Image
Every two weeks I am going to feature one of the chapters of our Handbook on Humanitarianism and Inequality which was published in spring 2024. This week we are taking a closer look at Chapter 39 - Pracademvism – forever unequal or the new nexus in global development and humanitarianism - contributed by Themrise Khan.  After almost two years, all 39 chapters of the handbook have been highlighted with their own short overview blog post, a great way to once again say Thank you to all the collaborators of the project! From the introduction  In the global development and humanitarian sector, however, academia is challenged by its sister concern, practitioner-based knowledge. Given that the sector relies heavily on the ‘practice’ of global development in order to create equality of rights and opportunities, academia can simply outline a framework for how such practice can unfold, not control the actual events or outcomes. This has created tensions between the two forms of knowle...

Handbook on Humanitarianism and Inequality - Chapter 33 - Varieties of European humanitarianism

Image
Every two weeks I am going to feature one of the chapters of our Handbook on Humanitarianism and Inequality which was published in spring 2024. This week we are taking a closer look at Chapter 33 - Varieties of European humanitarianism - contributed by Silke Roth and Tobias Denskus. From the introduction  European humanitarianism is inextricably intertwined with European colonialism and its legacies (see Chapter 2 by O’Leary McNeice on Humanitarianism and colonialism in this volume).  The violent eradication of Indigenous people and their environments, their knowledge and beliefs, is related to European humanitarianism (see Chapter 27 by Gurr on Humanitarianism and Native America and Chapter 28 by Sobocinska on Australia, New Zealand, and Pacific Regions in this volume). Long after the end of slavery, colonial institutions regulating ethno-racial stratification have lasting consequences for humanitarian crises in contemporary neo-liberal societies (see Chapter 15 by Nar...
