Invisible Histories of the UN - a conversation with Dr. Alanna O'Malley
In this episode of The Next Page, we uncover overlooked narratives of the United Nations' history, guided by Dr. Alanna O'Malley, associate professor at Leiden University. Recorded in Geneva during the recent META-UN academic conference on ideas relevant to multilateralism, Dr. O'Malley discusses her extensive research into the unseen contributions of Global South actors to the UN, challenging the traditionally Western-focused historical narratives. She shares insights from her project funded by the European Research Council, highlighting how these actors have dynamically engaged with and transformed the UN system over decades.
Tune in to uncover how these invisible histories shape the current and future landscape of global governance. And stay tuned for more on this topic following the publication of Dr. O'Malley's new book on this topic.
