In international relations, cities occupy a rich focal point of migration, economic activities, and other distinctive urbanized social formations. The work of Professor AbdouMaliqu Simone asks us to reposition questions of urban studies through the centering of “Southern Urbanisms,” the everyday ways of living for residents who inhabit cities located in the Global South. In this interview GJIA sat down with Professor Simone to discuss the significance of Southern Urbanisms and how this paradigm can transform how we view social life in cities.

37th & The World: Understanding the Kafala Migrant Labor System
37th & The World
04/10/23 • 59 min
As the eyes of the globe shifted towards Qatar during the 2022 World Cup, media reports focused on the working conditions and deaths of migrant workers building Qatar’s infrastructure and in the Middle East at large. Indeed, throughout Jordan, Lebanon, and all the Gulf Arab states, a system for migrant labor called kafala has been in place for decades. Under this system, states give employers sponsorship permits to bring in foreign workers, which bind workers to their employers and allow for exploitation. To explore the persistence of the kafala problem and analyze the possible avenues for lasting reform, GJIA sits down with Ryszard Cholewinski, the Senior Migration Specialist in the International Labor Organization’s Regional Office for Arab States in Beirut.

37th & The World: The Global Education Challenge
37th & The World
02/03/25 • 36 min
"Education is in crisis—a crisis of performance, a crisis of resources, and hence, the whole trajectory of society is in crisis." – Laura Frigenti, CEO of the Global Partnership for Education (GPE).
GPE has transformed global education funding, ensuring that children in over 90 countries—especially in low-income and fragile states—receive access to quality learning opportunities. From mobilizing $11 billion in education financing to pioneering innovative funding models, GPE continues to adapt to the evolving global education landscape.
In this thought-provoking episode, Ali Unar from GJIA sat down with Laura Frigenti, who shared her strategic vision for tackling the education crisis. They explore how sustainable financing can be achieved in rapidly growing populations, the role of developed nations in closing the funding gap, and how GPE tailors its strategies to fragile and crisis-affected regions.
Frigenti also discusses the intersection of education and climate resilience, emphasizing the power of education as a tool for adaptation in vulnerable communities. She also discusses GPE’s push to equip students with 21st-century skills, ensuring that learners gain the competencies needed for the future workforce beyond basic literacy.
Since stepping into her role as CEO, Frigenti has prioritized expanding partnerships, scaling innovation, and exploring new financing models to drive sustainable change.
