About the Collection

Formalised in 2007, the collection was brought together as an outcome of research taking place at the school, specifically in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Since then, the Collection has grown to reflect the many diverse and critical perspectives studied at SOAS about the world and times we live in.

Now we ask how can the collection be a lens through which we interrogate and understand some of the planetary questions of our time.
