Roy Trivedy, who graduated from IDS in 1986 with an MPhil in Development Studies and was most recently employed as an international civil servant for the United Nations. Roy is passionate about international development – and making a difference in the world, which he will explore during his lecture focusing on his experiences in the sector.
Join IDS as we host a lecture exploring leadership in global development inspired by the legacies of three individuals central to our history: Hans Singer, Dudley Seers and Richard Jolly.
About Hans Singer, Dudley Seers and Richard Jolly
The lecture will take inspiration from the contributions of three leaders in international development:
- Hans Singer, a pioneering economist who worked at IDS from early from the 1970s to early 2000s;
- Dudley Seers, founding Director of IDS from 1966 until 1972;
- Richard Jolly, the Institute’s second Director, then Assistant Secretary General at the United Nations and who continues to work at IDS.
IDS Alumni
