Forskere: Der er brug for en afkolonisering af forskningen

As debates on the colonial legacies in South-North academic collaboration continue, there is a persistent need to address the structures of inequality in research partnerships from both sides. In September 2021, researchers from Kenya, Ghana and Denmark, working together in three multi-year collaborative research programs funded by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, met to discuss the inequality inherent in their collaborations. Following from this conversation, this brief explores the nature and implications of inequality in North-South collaborations while also suggesting some immediate steps that could be taken to address inequalities.
