Unidimensional Underpinnings of Multidimensional Counting Measures
Traditional unidimensional measures aggregate information at the individual level then gauge poverty in the distribution of a single variable using a poverty line and measurement methodology. This paper provides an intuitive parallel procedure for creating a multidimensional poverty measure from a distribution of aggregate attainments of persons in across dimensions.
Global Multidimensional Poverty Index 2024: Poverty amid conflict
The global MPI is an international comparable measure of acute multidimensional poverty across more than 100 countries in developing regions. Each year a thematic report is jointly produced by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative in ODID and the United Nations Development Programme exploring the data. In this seminar, Sabina Alkire will discuss the findings from this year’s report ‘Global Multidimensional Poverty Index 2024: Poverty amid conflict’ which examines some of the ways in which poverty and conflict intersect and reflects on what this means for poverty reduction.

Professorial Lecture: Law, Philosophy, and the Susceptible Skins of Living Beings
Catherine the Great (apparently) wrote to the French philosopher Diderot something along the lines of: “You philosophers are fortunate. You write on paper, and paper is patient. Unfortunate emperor that I am, I write on the susceptible skins of living beings.” Catherine expressed, I think, an important insight, that is true of the law as well: the law writes on the susceptible skins of living beings.
In conversation with Katy Barrow-Grint, Assistant Chief Constable, Thames Valley Police
In this talk, Katy will explore how her background in sociology has shaped her leadership roles in policing, from child abuse investigations to covert operations. She will share insights from her academic research on domestic abuse, and will discuss her efforts to integrate academic research into policing practice.

Baptiste Alloui-Cros
Baptiste Alloui-Cros is a DPhil student in International Relations under the supervision of Professor Dominic Johnson (Oxford) and Professor Kenneth Payne (King's College London). His research focuses on the intersection of AI and strategic thought, and examines how wargames can be used as a bridge between those two areas to inform strategy. Relying on an interdisciplinary approach including insights from strategic theory, wargaming, psychology, and machine learning, his work has a strong experimental component.
