The Centre for Lebanese Studies and the Faculty of Education at the University of Cambridge with support from the Centre for Research in the Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities (CRASSH) at University of Cambridge, the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and LERRN, at Carlton University, is organising a one day workshop on Research Funding across the north-south divide.
The background for the workshop is the increasing critique against the way research funding for themes such as forced migration, education in emergencies and humanitarian challenges more generally is channelled predominantly to researchers in the global north while most of the situations studied are located in the global south. Despite this increasing critique of funding streams, the funding landscape is slow to change.
The one-day workshop will consist of four panels with generous time for conversation and discussions.
Panel 1: How research funding reproduces inequalities in knowledge production
Panel 2: Partnerships across the Global North and South divide
Panel 3: Equitable knowledge production: between funders’ agendas and institutional bureaucracy
Panel 4: What have we learnt so far and what are our recommendations for change?
