Large scale migration and forced displacement are among the most dramatic consequences of war and political instability. In the research project ‘Security on the Move’, forty people who have been displaced to cities took pictures to document their experiences and everyday lives. An exhibition of these images and the photographers' testimonies will be launched on 14 March 2019.

The ESRC-DFID Raising Learning Outcomes in Education Systems (RLO) Programme aims to provide critical evidence on how education systems might work better to overcome the global learning crisis. At the fourth Annual Programme Workshop, the Programme Research Lead and Impact Initiative look forward to highlighting the early achievements of the programme and celebrating its unique features.

This photographic exhibition tells the story of changing lives and livelihoods in Lokichar, a small town in Turkana County, and surrounding villages that are at the centre of northern Kenya’s oil frontier.

Cambodia is in the midst of a construction boom. The building of high-rise office blocks and housing is pushing the capital city upwards but the country’s vertical drive into the skies and status as one of Asia’s fastest growing economies hides a darker side to Phnom Penh’s ascent. Building projects demand bricks in large quantities and there is a profitable domestic brick production industry using multigenerational workforces of debt-bonded adults and children to supply them.
