Call
for papers
Within the framework of the third phase of the Africa,
Asia and Latin America Scholarly Collaborative Programme,
the Council for the Development of Social Science Research
in Africa (CODESRIA), the International Development
Economics Associates (IDEAs), and the Latin American
Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO), are pleased to
announce the next Comparative Research Workshop on Inequality
and Climate Change: Perspectives from the South. The
Workshop will be held in Dakar, Senegal, from 24th and
25th of July 2014.
Objectives
The comparative research workshop is one of the main
activities of the South-South programme, where senior
and mid-career social scientists can participate and
discuss their work on some of the major global challenges
or on challenges that the Global South, more specifically,
is facing. It is intended to increase the relevance
and use of Southern perspectives for addressing critical
historical and contemporary issues of theory and practice.
It is hoped that this workshop will contribute towards
the advancement of comparative thinking and cross-regional
networking among different generations of Southern scholars.
Participants, who will be drawn from Africa, Asia and
Latin America, will be exposed to the socio-historical
contexts of other regions of the South. These contexts
will, in turn, serve as an input in broadening analytical
perspectives and improving the overall quality of scientific
engagements by scholars from the South.
Eligibility for Participation
Scholars resident in countries of the South and who
are pursuing active academic careers are eligible to
take part in the work-shop. Considering these seminars
and workshops as essential tools for theoretical and
empirical debate, it is also proposed that a number
of participants be from countries with relatively less-developed
social sciences and preferably have a demonstrable involvement
in NGOs, social movements or public institutions. The
criteria for the selection of participants will focus
on academic quality, innovative nature of the arguments
made, gender and country of origin. These criteria will
be developed and implemented by a selection panel.
Application Procedures
and Deadlines
All scholars who are interested in presenting papers
on any of the themes that are stated in the concept
note of the work-shop (or related issues; see below)
are invited to send their abstracts to CLACSO, IDEAs
or CODESRIA, not later than 15th of April 2014. Shortly
thereafter, applicants will be notified of the status
of their abstracts. Full papers of the abstracts that
are accepted for presentation must be received by the
respective institutions not later than the 15th of May
2014 for assessment before confirmation of final selection.
Applicants are asked to send in full versions of their
Curriculum Vitae, including nationality, the scientific
discipline (s) in which they are working, a list of
recent publications, a summary of the ongoing research
activities in which they are involved, and the names
