Cutting edge digital media and technology
with a Global South focus
As Global Digital Futures we have come a long way! Our passion to educate and inspire within the digital space started as a podcast on SOAS Radio in 2018. The intention was to elevate the conversation around technology, politics and the culture. We interviewed leading academics, radical activists and experts on the Global South, creating 2 seasons of pioneering content.
Then In 2020, we launched the GDF Think Tank, a YouTube series bringing together thought leaders to discuss the impact of digital technologies.
Looking back now, we are glad to say that this mission and vision has continued to evolve. From humble conversations to immersive virtual dreamscapes, we are proud of the work we have done and are looking forward to an even more dynamic future ahead.
