About

Global South Studies: A Collective Publication with The Global South is a digital scholarship project created and designed in 2014 by University of Virginia professor Anne Garland Mahler and brought to fruition in 2017 through the additional contributions and collaboration of Magalí Armillas-Tiseyra of Penn State University, Leigh Anne Duck -- editor of The Global South -- of the University of Mississippi, and UVa's College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. 

This project aims to advance the field of Global South Studies by providing a platform and forum for a conceptual mapping of key concepts/thinkers/moments/issues within the field and is inspired by Deepika Bahri's innovative PostcolonialStudies@Emory.

In fall 2014 and spring 2017, Mahler and Armillas-Tiseyra -- who collaborated as founding executive committee members of the Modern Language Association's Global South Forum -- invited students in their respective graduate seminars on the Global South to write entries. They then invited scholars who have made core contributions to the field to the advisory editorial board and distributed an initial Call for Papers in fall 2017 to a broader scholarly community. This project is open to an international and interdisciplinary network of scholars, and contributions to it are invited and encouraged.

Send announcements, CFPs, and requests to write new entries on key terms.
