Watch this informative virtual talk in which Lucy alumna, Emina Osmandzikovic (International Relations & Politics, 2017) discussed tackling the value proposition and the voices of young IR researchers from the developing world.
In this talk, Emina discussed young IR researchers from the developing world, positioning them on the global research map and showcased the value of voices from the countries that are often studied/discussed in global affairs.

The expertise and the knowledge that the world and global institutions (including educational institutions) can harness from our cohort needs to be discussed.
