What is Takhayyul Nativeness and Emergent Issues Podcast Series?

The Institute for Global Prosperity's ERC Project Takhayyul is carried out in eleven different countries in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia, often included in the concept of the Global South, where people are more vulnerable to global changes and crises - as we have seen in the flood catastrophe in Pakistan. Many members of our team are scholars who have expertise in the geographies they grew up in. This series has been emerged due to the pressing issues that have been taking place in the contexts we work on and care about. The urgent need to create a platform where we can address the emergent issues as they happen, to channel our intellectual and academic expertise, combined with the deep care to the events taking place has prompted this podcast series.
