Centre for Global South Studies (CGSS)

Description

The Centre for Global South Studies (CGSS) provides a comprehensive home for University of Essex academics and postgraduate students researching the Global South and its connections to the Global North. The centre provides a hub for related interdisciplinary initiatives and activities.

The term ‘Global South’ has developed out of a need to establish collaborations between regions historically marginalized to highlight and address shared problems and resources critically. The ‘Global South’ encompasses spaces and peoples negatively impacted by colonialism and contemporary global capitalism.  This accounts for oppressed communities within affluent countries in the north and recognizes that there are economic Souths in the geographic North and Norths in the geographic South.
