By foregrounding the voices and experiences of scholars from the
Global South who have migrated to institutions in the Global North,
this volume theorizes the "third space" as a unique, rich, and
generative position in the Western academy. Global South Scholars
in the Western Academy engages a range of critical methodologies to
explore the challenges that Global South scholars have faced in
establishing themselves in academic settings in the Global North.
The text identifies the unique position that scholars have come to
adopt "in-between" North and South and theorizes this positionality
as a "third space", which is carved out by academics negotiating
personal, professional, and cultural belonging. This liminal
subject position, enriched by experiences of migration,
racialization, poverty, and difference, is shown to drive
knowledge-production and justice-orientated approaches in the
academy. This book provides a new and overdue perspective on the
experiences and contributions of Global South scholars in the
academy. It will be of interest to academics, researchers, and
scholars with an interest in critical theory, indigenous and
multicultural education, the sociology of education, and higher
education.
