Paper long abstract:

The inequality between the Global North and Global South in academic research is well documented. From cultural biases to orientalism to lack of representation, there is a pressing need to reassess and reevaluate the knowledge production process. This presentation aims to engage critically with questions of positionality and the politics of knowledge production between the Global North and South within criminological research. It focuses on the different challenges and considerations that arise when conducting research under authoritarian conditions. By examining controversial issues from the literature, this presentation underscores how perspectives from the Global South can challenge and enrich existing criminological paradigms.
