The Global Thinkers Project, Oxford

The Global Thinkers Project, Oxford The series brings together scholars from across disciplines to discuss and highlight the importance

When considering the ideas that have shaped International Relations (IR) thinking, why do we make so much of Thucydides, Machiavelli, Hobbes, Locke, and Kant, but not Kautilya, Andrés Bello, Rabindranath Tagore, José Ortega y Gasset, Sun Yat Sen and many others from the non-Anglo-Saxon World? The need for a more ‘global’ agenda in IR has been the subject of ongoing debate in the field. Yet mainstream academia does not address the contributions of such a diverse set of thinkers through a singular forum. In this light, the Department of Politics and International Relations, Centre of International Studies and St Cross College at the University of Oxford jointly present the Global Thinkers of the International Discussion Series. The Series will take the form of weekly discussions on Wednesday evenings of Weeks 3 to 6 during term time. Each term will carry a specific theme and will hold three to four sessions.

Rabindranath Tagore is most famous for being the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913. He was also an important political thinker, activist, and educator, and the BBC has just released an interesting and timely program on his prescient environmentalist thought! Listen to it here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3ct1rky.

"The LSE was an important site of creation and diffusion of women’s international thinking in 20th century Britain... However, when looking at contemporary mainstream IR, its history and scholars, it is as if the work of women thinkers had never existed... How could this happen?"
