The Center for the History of Global Development is a research focus established at the College of Liberal Arts at Shanghai University in 2016. Through conferences, workshops, publications and discussion panels, the Center seeks to contribute to interdisciplinary scholarly debates on concepts and practices of “development” as a phenomenon which has shaped much of recent global history while often remaining conceptually vague or contradictory.
PhD projects are invited particularly but not exclusively in the following fields:
– international organizations and development;
– alternative, non-mainstream concepts and practices of development, including experiences, promises, risks and limitations (i.e. fog harvesting, no-till farming, transition towns, urban agriculture, buen vivir, Ubuntu, cradle-to-cradle design, fair trade…);
– concepts of and experience with non-growing economic systems.
