REIMAGINE RESEARCH BY AND FOR THE GLOBAL SOUTH.
The burgeoning and interconnected fields of Global South public policy, humanities, and other academic disciplines demand fresh perspectives from the very communities these disciplines seek to empower.
Hosted by South-North Scholars (the youth-led global knowledge network) and the GSPPRN constituency of the International Public Policy Association (the top-level academic network for the global public policy field), Global South Paradigms welcomes all graduate and undergraduate students pursuing research or practice on Global South contexts and Global South issues. We will engage in critical dialogue and collaborative brainstorming around the current and future directions of “Global South research” – i.e., research on Global South issues – both within and across disciplinary boundaries.
PRESENT YOUR RESEARCH IN HUMANITIES, PUBLIC POLICY, AND OTHER SOCIAL SCIENCES.
Global South Paradigms invites paper presentations and lectures that develop humanities and/or social science perspectives on:
The histories, cultures, and movements of the Global South
Global South-led sustainable development and climate action
International relations and political economy from a Global South perspective
Conflict, displacement, and migration between/to/from the Global South
Our call for abstracts is now open! Submit your work through the registration form above.
