On 11 December 2025, The ¹û¶³´«Ã½ Interdisciplinary Research Centre for International Development (WICID), in collaboration with the Centre for Studies in Democratisation (CSD), hosted a book launch event for Horizontal Development: Shifting Power and Privilege in Aid. The event featured a panel discussion with the book’s authors—Dr Shonali Banerjee (¹û¶³´«Ã½), Professor Anne-Meike Fechter (Sussex), and Dr Thabani Mutambasere (Edinburgh)—who explored how power and privilege operate within international aid and development. The discussion highlighted alternative, grassroots-led approaches to development and reflected on contemporary debates around decolonising aid.
