Testimonials

“I joined SIID in 2014 when I started my PhD in Urban Studies and Planning and so far, it has been an excellent experience. I feel fortunate to be part of a research institute that is dedicated to research and deliberation over various issues that concern the cities of the global south. Since joining SIID, I have participated in various reading groups, research seminars, and workshops that involve people from within and outside the University. I had the opportunity to organise the 2015 SIID Postgraduate Research Conference, which helped me polish up my group working and communication skills. I also presented a paper at the conference; my first ever presentation in the UK! The friendly, intellectual environment of the SIID conference was really beneficial to me and my research.”
