Towards framing the global in Global Development: prospects for development geography (2021)
Journal Article
McKay, D. (2021). Towards framing the global in Global Development: prospects for development geography. Area, 54(2), 185-194. https://doi.org/10.1111/area.12718

This paper examines data in the public sphere on the global scope of geography’s UKRI Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) projects. Building on decolonial critiques of development research, I argue that geography should frame ‘the global’ of globa...
