The HBS hosts discuss philosophy and theory in relation to the global south with Prof. Surti Singh.
We does it mean to theorize from the Global South? What tools can theory bring to the global south? And is there such a thing as The Global South? We talk with Prof. Surti Singh, the co-principal investigator of the Andrew W.
