The Majority World Initiative (MWI) brings together Majority World scholars and provides a space for them to interact and engage with each other. Advocacy and policy will remain ill-fitting for local contexts if they rely on ideas created for different parts of the world. MWI supports Majority World scholars in developing scholarship centering on their regions, and on an equal footing with their Minority World counterparts. These essays and blog posts are written by Majority World researchers on propaganda and emerging technologies.
