Humans of ID
By LSE Department of International Development
Inspired by the "Humans of.." concept of sharing stories originated by photoblogger Brandon Stanton in New York, Humans of ID is a podcast where students in the LSE Department of International Development sit down with classmates, instructors, and alumni to learn about their stories and how they are interacting with issues in, and approaches to, development.
In these informal discussions, the Career and Professional Development team engages with guests, learning about their journey in the development field and discussing some pressing contemporary issues in international development. New episodes drop every Tuesday and are a great way to delve into the world of development whilst you are on the go!
