Thursday 25th March 5pm “Southernizing” Criminology: Problems and Possibilities Máximo Sozzo (Universidad Nacional del Litoral, Argentina) In recent years, expressions such as 'southern criminology', 'counter-colonial criminology' ‘decolonial criminology’ or 'postcolonial criminology' have occupied corners of the contemporary debate in this field of studies This discussion echoes a general debate within social sciences. Not all these expressions mean exactly the same and there are important distinctions among the different interventions. In this paper I try to produce a balance of what has been discussed, highlighting some key elements around which there is some sort of agreement and identifying the main points of disagreement and the different arguments that have been proposed in relation to them. Finally, I discuss the idea of “southenising” criminology as an interesting alternative to solve at least some – even if not all – these points of conflict, both politically and scientifically Join Zoom Meeting https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87217000363?pwd=enVZSGRuTmNobCtVaWd5WmdEaXVvdz09 Meeting ID: 872 1700 0363 Passcode: 740434
