Professor Phillips\u2019 shared with us the nuances of what it means to quantify development and challenged Eurocentric ideologies pertaining to conflict resolution in a world with stark power inequalities on an international scale. It was such a privilege to hear from Professor Phillips, as she shared personal anecdotes from her time in the Middle East and Africa interviewing locals and government ministers and teaching classes. Professor Phillips\u2019 visit has helped enrich our learning in IB Global Politics. We would like to say a massive thank you to Professor Phillips for sharing her time and wisdom with us!<\/em><br><strong>Bronte Sprotte &amp; Tanisha Chari<\/strong><br>Year 12<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 3 April IB Global Politics students had the opportunity to authentically engage with academic judgement and reasoning.
