Many thanks for visiting this site. Here we introduce research about celebrity humanitarianism and celebrity advocacy. We provide links and resources about this topic and to make the books more teachable and readable. We hope that this helps make the books and our ideas more accessible and useful to students, educators and practitioners.

​

The website centers around two books:

​

• Celebrity Humanitarianism and North-South Relations: Politics, Place and Power, Edited by Lisa Ann Richey 

​

• Celebrity Advocacy and International Development by Dan Brockington

​

Both were published in the 'Rethinking Development' Series with Routledge Press.

​

​

​

In addition to these books you may be interested in two others which preceded these, and for which other websites already exist, these are:

​

• Brand Aid: Shopping Well to Save the World (by Lisa Ann Richey and Stefano Ponte)

​

• Celebrity and the Environment (by Dan Brockington).
