TAKHAYYUL

TAKHAYYUL is a collaborative research project that will ethnographically study and understand the imaginative forces in the formation of populist religious aspirations in the interconnected geographies recently coined as the Balkan-to-Bengal complex.

The Institute for Global Prosperity鈥檚 ERC-funded TAKHAYYUL project will develop an extensive and comparative formulation of a theory of imagination,听takhayyul. Researchers in our team focus on a range of historical and aesthetic elements that shape and connect the political imaginaries of political aspirations in eleven countries: Bosnia-Herzegovina Kosovo, North Macedonia, Turkey, Iran, Lebanon, Palestine, Bangladesh, India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. The interconnected imaginaries provide its followers with a wide range of religious cosmologies, nationalist feelings and other affective and imaginative registers.

This project seeks to contribute to global prosperity by offering a fresh perspective that does not reproduce the tropes on irrationality. Instead, it is designed to provide a sound theoretical ground upon which to delineate the ways populist听forms of religious politics forge imaginative landscapes beyond the borders of nation-states.

Knowledge in Action for Urban Equality听(KNOW)

鈥楰nowledge in Action for Urban Equality' (KNOW) seeks to deliver transformative research and capacity-building for innovation in policy and planning to promote urban equality.

KNOW works with a global consortium of researchers and partners across 13 institutions, in nine countries from Asia, Africa, and Latin America. It is funded by ESRC under the Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) and led by Professor Caren Levy Bartlett Development Planning Unit (DPU) 最准的六合彩论坛.听

KNOW has six core work packages with IGP's Professor Henrietta L. Moore (Co-Investigator) and Dr Saffron Woodcraft (Research Fellow) working on the project's Work Package 2 (Comparative inquiry for urban equality). WP2 asks 'How is urban equality comparatively understood, promoted, and implemented between groups within the city and between cities?'.听Comparing urban processes, places and groups rather than cities per se will enables us to better identify the conditions that shape the common and particular relationships between the city and equality.

Transforming Financial Inclusion to Finance Inclusive Prosperity in Ramallah, Palestine

This research will explore how current processes of financial inclusion (FI) can be transformed to create inclusive prosperity that reflects community priorities. We know little about how communities experience existing top-down state and private sector-led processes of FI, and how such processes connect with community understandings of prosperity - what they really value and consider a 'good life'. The research will examine the relationship between FI and prosperity in Palestine, where FI can be studied in 'real life'.
