About the network

About GSCSN

Advancing plural understandings of childhood from and across the Global South.

Why we exist

Working on equality, diversity, and inclusion issues in childhood(s) in relation to children living in underrepresented and/or marginalised contexts, GSCSN promotes existing scholarship around Global South childhood. Moreover, we will use this network to capacity-build early career Global South childhood scholars, and to explore joint research projects that disrupt dominant constructions of childhood. Ultimately, GSCSN pushes the field beyond universal and western-centric knowledge about children.
