Southern Perspectives on Socio-Legal Education and Research

Internationalization is a key aspect in strategic planning of most of top universities across the globe. This proposal aims to collect documents and observe (institutional ethnography methodology) two winter courses promoted by the “Universidad Nacional del Litoral” (UNL, Argentina). Winter courses are a milestone in the internationalization process of the UNL and interestingly they are oriented towards South-South and South-North relations, a design rarely observable in Global North universities. The proposal will focus on the following research question: how far can those winter courses go in the production and circulation of knowledge from the South to an international set of attendants? This proposal is related to my PhD research, which explores the presence and circulation of knowledge from the South in PhD programs in Law at highly internationalized universities in Canada. I expect that the Argentinean data will provide an interesting contrast, helping me to nuance the results of my research in Canada.
