Interdisciplinary Global Development Centre
Promoting interdisciplinary research and partnerships to address pressing global development challenges.
The University of York’s Interdisciplinary Global Development Centre (IGDC) is a major cross-faculty initiative that brings together a wide community of scholars working on global development.
We support our members to work with academics, networks and partners across and beyond the University to develop research that is people-focused and addresses the urgent and structural challenges of global development.

Global development research at York
Our members undertake a wide range of research that looks to define and enable alternative modes of development that are inclusive and sustainable, improve the lives of future generations everywhere, and transform development policy and practices.
This research is collected around three broad themes: social justice, global health and wellbeing, and sustainable environments. IGDC also supports a cross-cutting theme on decolonising global development research.
Enabling interdisciplinary research
IGDC aims to enable interdisciplinary research and to facilitate collaboration among academics within the University of York and globally.
We host seminars, workshops, lectures and events that support our members to develop and showcase their research and to help build interdisciplinary relationships, networks and partnership.
Study global development
Undergraduate degrees and postgraduate research and taught courses in global development can be found across the University in different faculties, schools, departments and centres.
