Why does studying International Development matter in the age of populism? How can we conceptualise populism and democracy within the confines of the nation-state? How does political ethnography attune to diverse belongings and exclusion of people within discourses of populism? What are the mechanisms that characterise the process of populism in countries around the world?Dr. Graham Denyer Willis joins our conversation in disentangling some of the key questions regarding the rise of populism globally, and its socio-political productiveness and implications. A Senior Lecturer in Development and Latin American Studies at the University of Cambridge, his research and teaching is concerned with the practices and assumptions of power and forms of violence in the production and maintenance of political authority.This episode is hosted by Pascual Gonzalez, and jointly produced by Djihad Kramer, Jodi-Ann Wang, Lara Shirra-White, Rory Cardy-Phillips, and Johnny Wiley.To find out more about CAMSED, find us on our website, Facebook, or Twitter.
