Routledge Global South Scholars in the Western Academy Book

Explore the complex dynamics of academic migration with Global South Scholars in the Western Academy. This volume from the Routledge Research in Decolonizing Education series focuses on the voices and lived experiences of scholars who have moved from the Global South to institutions in the Global North. By utilizing various critical methodologies, the text examines the specific challenges these academics face when trying to establish themselves within Western institutional settings. It introduces the concept of the "third space," a unique and generative position held by those living in-between the North and the South. This book provides a deep look into how positionality and unique knowledge systems shape the academic landscape. It is an essential resource for understanding how migrated scholars navigate and transform the institutions they join, offering new perspectives on decolonizing higher education and the evolving nature of global scholarship.
