“One of the wonders of our menaced globe is the variety of its experiences, its memories, and its desires. Any attempt to impose a uniform politics on this diversity is like a prelude to death.” (Carlos Fuentes)

I am currently writing my Master's Thesis looking at a transnational advocacy campaign whose work is supporting UNESCO's Convention on Cultural Diversity. Key campaigns include encouraging international development orgs to utilize culture as a poverty reduction tool, creating trade laws that support the growth of film and media markets in the Global South, and the preservation of languages and indigenus cultures.
I would love to talk to academics, activists and international development practitioners who share one or more of the aforementioned interests. Please email.
