Walter Rodney Collection
No full textThe Walter Rodney Collection is a compilation of materials donated by a number of individuals and institutions. The donations help to broaden the documentation about the life, contributions, influence, and legacy of Walter Rodney. The collection also includes the work of the Walter Rodney Foundation in establishing the Walter Rodney Symposium and documents the annual symposia through video, ephemera, and photographs. The Walter Rodney Collection will continue to grow as more donations are made. The collection complements the Walter Rodney Papers that were donated to the Robert W. Woodruff Library in 2004.
At the AUC Robert W. Woodruff Library we are always striving to improve our digital collections. We welcome additional information about people, places, or events depicted in any of the works in this collection. To submit information, please contact us at [email protected]
The Annual Walter Rodney Symposium, 2022
No full textThe 19th Annual Walter Rodney Symposium titled "Walter Rodney: 50 Years of How Europe Underdeveloped Africa" took place on Saturday, March 26th, 2022 from 10:00am - 3:00pm EST. The virtual conference featured keynote speaker Dr. Joyce Ladner who highlights her relationship with Dr. Walter Rodney. The panel hosted by Kurt B. Young featured Dr. Horace G. Campbell, Professor Issa Shivji, and Walter Bgoya, and discusses the work of Walter Rodney and Julius Nyerere. The panel hosted by Zophia Edwards featured a lecture by Dr. Vijay Prashad and respondents Natasha Shivji, Tamnisha John, Kamau Franklin, and Cindy Peters about the text "How Europe Undeveloped Africa". There were Q & A segments and global remembrances. The 2022 symposium was co-hosted by The Walter Rodney Foundation and the AUC Woodruff Library

No full textThe 18th Annual Walter Rodney Symposium titled: "Democracy Under Duress" took place on Sunday, March 21st, 2021 from 10:00am-3:00pm EST. The Symposium explored the fragility of the democratic state and strategies for creating and protecting a true democracy. This virtual conference is presented by The Walter Rodney Foundation and the AUC Woodruff Library and featured a keynote address by Dr. Angela Y. Davis. The event highlighted Dr. Walter Rodney's and Dr. Angela Y. Davis' lives intersecting when they met at the University of Dar-es-Salaam in Tanzania and their work both grounded in historical truth, and in their commitment to human dignity, liberation, resistance, and scholar-activism. The two panel discussions covered topics of Dr. Walter Rodney, Human Rights, decolonization, imperialism, state violence, and the assassination of Walter Rodney
Bayesian Inference in Cointegrated I (2) Systems: a Generalisation of the Triangular Model
No full textThis paper generalises the cointegrating model of Phillips (1991) to allow for I (0) , I (1) and I (2) processes. The model has a simple form that permits a wider range of I (2) processes than are usually considered, including a more flexible form of polynomial cointegration. Further, the specification relaxes restrictions identified by Phillips (1991) on the I (1) and I (2) cointegrating vectors and restrictions on how the stochastic trends enter the system. To date there has been little work on Bayesian I (2) analysis and so this paper attempts to address this gap in the literature. A method of Bayesian inference in potentially I (2) processes is presented with application to Australian money demand using a Jeffreys prior and a shrinkage prior.
Multivariate Stochastic Volatility with Co-Heteroscedasticity
No full texthttp://www.grips.ac.jp/list/jp/facultyinfo/leon_gonzalez_roberto/First version: October, 2018 [18-12] http://doi.org/10.24545/00001640This paper develops a new methodology that decomposes shocks into homoscedastic and heteroscedastic components. This specification implies there exist linear combinations of heteroscedastic variables that eliminate heteroscedasticity; a property known as co-heteroscedasticity. The heteroscedastic part of the model uses a multivariate stochastic volatility inverse Wishart process. The resulting model is invariant to the ordering of the variables, which we show is important for volatility estimation. By incorporating testable co-heteroscedasticity restrictions, the specification allows estimation in moderately high-dimensions. The computational strategy uses a novel particle filter algorithm, a reparameterization that substantially improves algorithmic convergence and an alternatingorder particle Gibbs that reduces the amount of particles needed for accurate estimation. We provide an empirical application to a large Vector Autoregression (VAR), in which we find strong evidence for co-heteroscedasticity and that the new method compares favorably to previous ones in terms of forecasting from horizon 3 onward. A Monte Carlo experiment illustrates that the new method estimates well the characteristics of approximate factor models with heteroscedastic errors.JEL Classification Codes: C11, C15Roberto Leon-Gonzalez acknowledges financial support from the GRIPS Policy Research Center under the grant "Multivariate Stochastic Volatility with Partial Homoscedasticity", from the Nomura Foundation (BE-004) and from JSPS (category C, 19K01588).Rodney Strachan acknowledges financial support from the GRIPS Policy Research Center for a research visit to GRIPS.technical repor
The Commission of Inquiry on the Death of Walter Rodney
No full textDr. Walter Rodney (1942-1980) was a historian, scholar, educator, prolific author, Pan-Africanist, and political activist. He is recognized as one of the Caribbeans most brilliant minds his scholarly works and political activism engendered a new political consciousness. Walter Rodney is widely known for his seminal work, How Europe Underdeveloped Africa, that established a new paradigm for understanding the enduring impact and legacy of colonialism on the development of African countries.
Between 1974 and 1980, Rodney emerged as a leading figure in the resistance movement against the increasingly authoritarian and repressive Guyana government led by Prime Minister Forbes Burnham. On June 13, 1980 Walter Rodney was killed by a bomb hidden in a walkie-talkie
