This week, in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Dr. Bob Huish is joined by Tari Ajadi to chat about the lingering effects of neoliberalism that Britain's Margaret Thatcher brought to the International Development Discourse. From deep austerity, to re-imagining what the nation state is, in this podcast, we discuss the Iron Lady's long legacy (intentional or otherwise) in International Development. It's Thatcherism revisited.
Tari Ajadi is a Ph.D. student in Political Science at Dalhousie University and he is a Junior Fellow at the MacEachen Institute for Public Policy and Governance. His research looks at the barriers to, and the opportunities for, targeted policies aimed at reducing racial health inequities. Tari has published articles in The Globe and Mail, The Chronicle Herald, University Affairs, and The Tyee.
