Led by Dr. Hatem Bazian, the IRDP highlights research and projects that explore the maintenance and extensi​on of existing power paradigms by bringing together academics, thinkers, practitioners and researchers from around the globe who engage, question and challenge the existing disparities in economic, political, social and cultural relations.
