With the ieXperiments series, the Department of Development Studies seeks to create a forum for creative writing, reflection, and critique. We are happy to accept contributions such as reviews, essays, conference and workshop reports, interviews, self-reflective insights into or about research and teaching, as well as critical opinions and reactions to current and societally relevant topics in development research. Through this open forum, we hope to expand the range of expressive and representational formats by encouraging creative, free, visually oriented, multi-lingual, and other forms of experimental writing. https://ie.univie.ac.at/institut/institutspublikationen/iepublications/
