Abstract
This forum brings together a diverse group of scholars from political geography,
international relations, critical organisation studies, global development,
international studies and political sociology to explore the debates and
dynamics of celebrity engagement with development and humanitarianism. The
contributions here come from a series of roundtables organised in 2021,
including one at the 6th World Conference on Humanitarian Studies of the
International Humanitarian Studies Association in Paris that discussed the
findings and insights of the book Batman Saves the Congo: How
Celebrities Disrupt the Politics of Development (University of
Minnesota Press, 2021).
