"Dynamics of international research collaboration in Higher Education: South-South & South-North collaborations"
Yusuf Oldac, Hong Kong Lingnan University & Lili Yang, Faculty of Education, the University of Hong Kong.
Global research is diversifying and becoming more connected than ever. International research collaborations are increasing not only in the established Global North but also in other parts of the world. In fact, data shows that the significant increase in global research and collaborations is driven by contributions from the Global South/East. However, there are additional challenges for Global South/East researchers when contributing to global research through international publications. This seminar examines the power dynamics and inequalities in South-South and South-North collaborations.
