Navigating Complex Research Terrains

This edited book explores the lived experiences of researchers in the Global South, navigating complex terrain and the struggle for epistemic contribution and recognition both inside and outside the academy. Throughout the chapters, researchers provide accounts of their lived research experiences, and explore alternative worldviews in which Southern and Northern epistemologies find common ground. The book will be of interest to students and scholars interested in research methodology, knowledge creation, international development and the wider social sciences.
