Check out what one of the recipients of the 2021 Development Research Awards from MFAT and DevNet has been up to!
Big dilemma for Dev Studies students & staff during a global pandemic: how to do fieldwork? Never fear - we have PhD student Phuong Thi Nguyen to show the way!
Phuong can't travel home to Vietnam so recruited 3 Research Assistants from the ethnic minority areas she is studying.
More DevNet highlights. Congratulations to Kim Kessler on being awarded best PhD presentation. And our staff members were also in full flight conveying their research findings at the conference. #DevNet2020 #phdlife #developmentresearch #geography
