-------------------------------------
The contemporary global academic landscape is increasingly shaped not only by teaching but more significantly by research outputs, publications, and citation metrics. This emphasis has contributed to persistent inequalities between institutions in the Global North and those in the Global South, where researchers often face systemic barriers such as limited funding, inadequate infrastructure, and the enduring effects of intellectual colonialism. In response, scholars from developing contexts must adopt strategic approaches that foster meaningful collaboration, prioritize locally relevant research, and critically engage with existing global power structures in academia.
This webinar seeks to explore these challenges by creating a space for critical dialogue and reflection. How can researchers from developing countries, such as the Philippines, overcome structural barriers to produce high-quality, impactful research? What does it take to publish in top-tier journals, and how can such spaces be more accessible? In what ways can collaborations between the Global North and Global South be strengthened to promote more equitable research dynamics?
These questions and more will be examined in conversation with Froilan Malit, a PhD candidate in Politics and International Studies at the SOAS University of London. He is also the founder and managing director of Rights Corridor, an organization dedicated to data management and analysis on migration in the Middle East.
Drawing from his experiences as a “transnational citizen,” Mr. Malit will lead the discussion on navigating the complexities of academic research and publication across global contexts.
