About us

The Tübingen Interdisciplinary Centre for Global South Studies is a platform for an ongoing dialogue within a network of researchers, scholars and postgraduate students from Africa, Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Europe who are engaged upon the exploration of the intellectual challenges of the Global South. The Interdisciplinary Centre supports a networking intellectual enquiry and exploratory political project that seeks to create new concepts and expanding scholarly rhizomes across the South.

The Interdisciplinary Centre hosts flourishing research activities with our partners and also foments translateral activities among the network of partner universities in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Pacific region (originally brought together by a BMBF-DAAD Thematic Network Project). In addition, the ICGSS offers an MA and a structured PhD programme in Global South Studies,
