The issue of child labour is widely researched and debated, and is well addressed in different laws, policies and forums of governments; yet child labour remains intractable in both developed and developing countries.

Holding up the researcher’s mirror to decolonize knowledge generation: A critical examination of researchers’ positionality beyond the ‘Global North’/‘South’ divide
In this article, we scrutinise the importance of researchers’ positionality vis-à-vis the ‘Global South’/‘North’ binary in the field of international and comparative education. Accounting for the different places we speak from, we reflect on our past experiences as doctoral researchers examining teachers’ role as agents of peace and/or conflict in divided and (post-) conflict societies. In doing so, we challenge the rigidity of the ‘North’/‘South…

This article addresses this gap by analysing customary law systems and practices of the various ethnic communities occupying the coastlines of the Western, Cen…
