The Global Thinkers Series, Oxford Podcast artwork

The Global Thinkers Project, Oxford was launched in 2017 with the aim of reviving silenced voices in the discipline of International Relations (IR). It explores the internationalist thought of individuals who have made significant contributions in international affairs but have been excluded from the discipline due to biases of language, region, and gender. By encouraging IR to 'rethink its thinkers', our project responds to a call for a more inclusive, diverse, and ‘Global IR’, making Oxford a hub for research and public engagement in this area. In 2019, the project won a grant from the Oxford University Press John Fell Fund to expand its reach and impact.
