OPHI Seminar Series

The OPHI seminar series, organised jointly with the Institute for International Economic Policy at George Washington University and the UNDP Human Development Report Office, brings together academic staff and students interested in multidimensional poverty in an informal intellectual and social environment where we will discuss research related to different aspects of the measurement or explanation of multidimensional poverty. Seminars are in a hybrid format, and in-person attendees may join in Meeting Room A of Queen Elizabeth House. Everyone is welcome.
