The Nijmegen Interdisciplinary Centre for Development and Cultural Change (NICCOS) was established in 1989 by the Board of Governors of Radboud University Nijmegen in order to stimulate and co-ordinate comparative research and related activities into the dynamics of development especially in the Global South. Although anchored in the disciplines of Anthropology and Development Studies as well as in Religious Studies, with a focus on World Christianity and Inter-religious Relations, NICCOS has evolved into a wider interdisciplinary network of scholars who focus research and teaching on development issues in relation to growing diversity and rising inequality in six continents. For the previous 54 issues of the NICCOS Series, see: lit-verlag.de and ru.nl/niccos.
This collective volume celebrates that 75 years ago the foundation was laid for the Department of Anthropology and Development Studies at Radboud University, Nijmegen, the Netherlands. Former and current staff members reflect on the changing meaning of engaged scholarship in relation to emancipatory issues. They offer a rich variety of essays about the shifting tension between engagement, emancipation and academic scholarship over the years.
