Introduction Co-Creation as a collaborative approach to knowledge production brings together a diverse range of participants and uses art to drive out knowledge and challenge existing hierarchies and preconceptions. While some Co-Creation practices can remain entirely local, many involve North-South encounters either occurring between participants of international workshops or taking the form of conflicts between different traditions of knowledge production specific to the ‘Global North’ and the ‘Global South’. In addition, hegemonic representational
Key messages UK-funded Global North–South research partnerships need to be decolonised. Existing UK-funded Global North–South research partnerships are characterised by structural power asymmetries. The input of researchers based in the Global South is often reduced to that of data collection. UK funding bodies need to prioritise appointing additional principal investigators based in the Global South. Introduction Research funding models in the UK are framed increasingly in the language of Global North–South partnership and cooperation
mining in Australia and India: two coal-dependent democracies representative of the Global North, settler colonial (Australia) and Global South, postcolonial (India) contexts. I ask the following questions: how is the FPIC being mobilized by Indigenous anti-fossil fuel resistances to achieve land and climate justice in the Global North and South, in settler colonial and postcolonial contexts? And how can climate activism forge solidarities with these struggles for past, present and future justice? Through this comparative analysis, I make recommendations for how
context suggest that development indicators have less impact on the management and suppression of COVID-19. This is particularly apparent between the Global North and Global South territories considered here. Sri Lanka, it can be argued, has contained and suppressed the disease most successfully. The government achieved these outcomes by imposing a countrywide lockdown with a strict curfew enforced by police. By comparison, the approaches taken by Australia, Canada, and Table 14.1: Pandemic, lockdown, and reopening in four cities (and respective countries
importance mostly during the last two decades. As scholarship on informality in the Global North develops, Devlin (2019) has called for conceptual ground clearing in order to arrive at a nuanced understanding and theorise urban informality in the context of Northern cities. To this end, Quintana Vigiola’s (2022) comparative study on informal housing in Caracas and Sydney, helps to expand such understanding across Southern and Northern cities. It was a pleasure to engage with, and reply to, Quintana Vigiola’s (2022) article. I conclude here by highlighting the need
129 FIVe Children’s and young people’s care work in households affected by hiV and aids This chapter discusses young people’s everyday caring responsibilities within households affected by HIV/AIDS in both the global North and South. As discussed in Chapter 1, research in the UK and other high- income countries as well as in Sub-Saharan Africa has demonstrated that young carers’ caring responsibilities do differ from other children’s household responsibilities in both the North and the South in terms of the extent and nature of children’s care work (Becker
most apparent impact of the dominance of the “global North” is the marginalization of academic fields and disciplines that focus on and emphasize the country’s ethnic diversity. It can be argued that this neglect in understanding the inherently diverse character of the Philippines has pushed its indigenous peoples (IPs) to the country’s impoverished peripheries. Owing to its archipelagic geography, the Philippines is inherently culturally diverse, with more than 170 ethnolinguistic groups spread over more than 7,000 islands ( Alvina et al, 2020 , p 5). Remarkably
This book is the first to provide an introductory overview to the concept of ‘urban informality’, taking an international perspective across the global North and South. It explores theoretical understandings of the term, and looks at how it affects ways of living, such as land use, housing and basic services, working lives and politics.
Using a broad range of material to bring the topic to life, including non-conventional sources – such as fiction, poetry, photography, interviews and other media – the book helps students, practitioners and scholars develop learning and research on this topic. The book also includes interjections from diverse voices of practitioners, community activists and regional experts.
parents and relatives in the global North1 and, to some extent, in the global South challenges norms of childhood and youth. Taking global constructions of childhood and youth as our starting point, this chapter reviews the literature on childhood responsibilities, informal care and young caregiving and introduces key theoretical perspectives, such as the social construction of childhood and youth, the ethic of care, and risk and resilience discourses, which we draw on in our analyses of children’s and young people’s caring responsibilities in families affected
the global South (a contested term used to denote parts of the world associated with Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa and Asia, discussed in Box 1.1 ), we demonstrate in this book that informal housing has existed historically, and continues to exist, in many cities of the global North (the parts of the world associated with Europe, North America and Australia) – be that in the form of refugee camps, backyard sheds or irregular housing developments of the ultra-rich. In fact, the term ‘slum’, a derogatory word often associated with informal neighbourhoods, has
