Abstract

Working relationships between researchers from the global South and North, are often predicated on hidden power imbalances which can subjugate researchers from the global South to a subordinate status, despite contributing equally comparable amounts of research. Focusing in on the collaborative fieldwork experience of two researchers, Josaphat Musamba and Christoph Vogel demonstrate that long-term relationships are possible despite the prevalence of power imbalances and ‘domino-centrism’ between the global South and North. This, based on continuous work and reflection, can then form the basis for more equitable relations between researchers from different backgrounds.
