Global Development Masterclass for Year 12s and Year 13s

In this masterclass with SOAS Development Studies staff, you will be introduced to Development Studies as a discipline and will build an understanding of a class-relational perspective of global development by taking the lens of labour migration.

During the masterclass, you will explore key questions such as:

• What is (global) development? 
• How can we understand class relations?
• How does labour migration across and within countries shape class relations?
• How do class relations shape global development?

On-campus masterclasses are subject based and three hours long. They consist of a topic-based lecture and interactive activity, led by a SOAS academic. There is also a campus tour and workshop on higher education led by Student Ambassadors.
