The Southernising Criminology Discussion Group is a student-led initiative that aims to extend criminological horizons outside the Global North, reflecting on distinct patterns and trends of crime, justice and punishment in jurisdictions historically situated at the periphery of knowledge production and theory formation.
This group provides key tools and frameworks to to recenter the epistemological and methodological focus of the discipline, aiming to tackle unequal geopolitical and academic relations of power and representation.
We are delighted to share the Hilary 2026 Term Card for the Southernising Criminology Discussion Group, organised at the Centre for Criminology, University of Oxford.
