Welcome to a new mini-pod series from the Global Development Institute’s Research for Transformation Lab. Based at the University of Manchester, the Lab is an initiative where we explore all things research impact.
This episode was recorded in November 2025 during Transformation Lab week, a series of face to face sessions designed to initiate a critically engaged conversation around research impact and the idea of research for transformation.
In this episode, our GDI colleague Uma Kothari, Professor of migration and postcolonial studies, explores the role of stories and storytelling in research and research impact.
