Who can write IR theory? If one is from any country in the Global South, the academy expects that you are *only* an expert on that region.
The freedom of picking any region in the world to study is limited to only one demographic of scholars: those from the U.S. @ISAnet
🚨 New piece out in the @IntlStudiesRev!
I discuss the different barriers that junior international scholars face to participate in knowledge production. This includes epistemological biases and barriers, citizenship/visa issues, & financial obstacles.
