CROP Events and publications

CROP Events and publications

CROP has a longstanding record of coordinating and facilitating publications on poverty. We are working to transform this website into a virtual space for mobilizing alternative poverty research, displaying links and material from network members and projects, and linking to webpages and resources from like-minded scholars, groups.

We place a special effort in highlighting and giving visibility to resources and publications from the global south and from young researchers. Through our open directory of members (still under construction) we offer a portal with updated work on poverty research.

The CROP & Zed Books collection on Poverty Studies is now being restructured to become an important publicaiton outlet for alternative poverty research. A new editorial board and editorial poliy are being developed. We will accept proposals of monographs on poverty issues.

Workshops and other events organized by CROP and with the support of CROP are aimed to be important venues for presenting and debating research and perspectives on poverty. They are one of the key channels to materialize one of CROP’s key activity; Developing and Coordinating Interdisciplinary south-south and south-north Comparative Research.

Through the workshops we place a particular emphasis on facilitating the participation of researchers from the South, important both for capacity building and for engendering robust research. Most of the workshops are in collaboration with other institutions, such as local universities, research organisations or international organisations. CROP has sponsored workshops in most regions of the world.
