It emphasizes the unequal relations between intellectuals and institutions in the North Atlantic (a hegemonic center) and the world periphery\u2014those places and spaces in which ways of thinking are often discredited, ignored, granted no intellectual authority, or otherwise subordinated. Accordingly, southern theory, as an intellectual project, questions and challenges the privileging of the North Atlantic within the realm of knowledge production.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>Drawing on southern theory, southern criminology has been proposed as \u201ca reflexive way to elucidate the power relations embedded in the hierarchal production of criminological knowledge that privileges theories, assumptions and methods based largely on empirical specificities of the global North\u201d (Carrington, Hogg and Sozzo 2016:2).\u00a0 In addition, southern criminology endeavours to illuminate and analyse critically \u201cthe different worlds of violence to be found in North and South that underlines the myopia of so much metropolitan criminology\u201d (Carrington, Hogg and Sozzo 2016:6).\u00a0 Building on ongoing research (e.g., Brisman, South and Walters In Progress; Brisman et al. In Progress), the papers in this panel will examine the ways in which the impact of climate change has and will continue to exacerbate existing pressures and inequalities related to access to freshwater, conflict, economics, urban mega-development and land-use changes\u2014all of which have a pronounced and disproportionate impact on the Global South.\u00a0 The goal will be to further the southern criminological project by examining critically what has been termed \u201cclimate apartheid\u201d and its impacts on the growing number of \u201cenvironmental refugees\u201d\u2014new victims\u2014indeed, entire populations\u2014now being dislocated by human-induced climate change.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next year, the Crime and Justice Research Centre will co-host the Crime and Justice in Asia and the Global South International Conference with the Asian Criminological Society.
