Welcome to your first issue of  SOAS World for 2025. In this edition, we have an interview with SOAS alumnus and filmmaker Ben Worku-Dix as he opens a new exhibition at SOAS Gallery. We also look at the crisis in Sudan, and some of our work around the conflict, along with exploring our recent Equitable Partnerships with institutions in the Global South.

We’ve got our usual mix of news, events and information on the benefits you enjoy as alumni.

If you have any feedback, or if there are any features you’d like to see in future issues, please get in touch with us on alumni@soas.ac.uk.
