No — this is not about one more journal. It’s a question about how journals could be otherwise, how it can decolonise its own platform. Journals don’t have to be extractive, exhausting, or soul-haunting. We are tired of critiquing existing problems, so we want to explore new arrangements! Journal of Southern Theorising (JoST) Over the past four years of working together through STingG in UK and SEED in Australia — across borders, time zones, and the limits of Northern infrastructures — one thing has become clear: every time we try to build “from elsewhere,” we still get routed through the same centres of epistemic power, same rules of reviewers, same unpaid labour, same citational politics. We talk South, but we publish North. We speak of justice, yet feed systems that quietly reproduce injustice. So here’s a different proposition: What if we stop asking for permission? What if a journal didn’t behave like a journal at all? JoST is imagined as a living room, a commons, a pool — a place for slow conversation, messy drafts, unfinished thoughts. A place without judgement that merits inquiry and help each other towards beneficial knowledge, of genuine allyship. A space where knowledge can breathe. Not oppositional, but gently defiant. A soft jostle. Peer review as correspondence, mentorship, guidance. Publishing as hosting, as redistribution of power and resources. Issues that could be text, audio, field notes, images, multiple languages — or all at once. Warmth instead of gatekeeping. Care instead of extraction. We’re now gathering to make this real. A quiet rebellion in the shape of a “journal”, but not a journal, if you get my drift — a collective experiment. Stay tuned. We’ll be opening up many ways to join, co-create, and shape this experiment in the months ahead. This won’t start with a call for papers, but a call for presence. The conversation will start soon! Hope to see you there.

🌍 The Africa Charter for Transformative Research Collaborations is a bold framework launched to guide ethical, inclusive, and impactful research across the continent. It champions African leadership, mutual respect, equity, and sustainability in global research partnerships. Discussions on the Africa Charter for Transformative Research Collaborations emphasized the need to shift Africa–North research partnerships toward equitable, system-changing models that empower African scholars, institutions, and indigenous knowledge. Transforming global science requires addressing power imbalances and fostering truly collaborative, impactful relationships. #AAUGeneralConference #EdAfrica #HigherEdLeadership #AfricaInnovation #GENCON25 #AfricaCharter #TransformativeResearch

👋 The #AfricaCharter is in focus at the 16th @AAU_67 Quadrennial Conference in Rabat #Morocco. 2 years after its landmark launch in 2023, the Africa Charter for #TransformativeResearch Collaborations sparks critical dialogue & reshapes how research is imagined and practiced.

Purposeful Research = Real Impact Prof. Fauziah Sh. Ahmad, Deputy Dean & KPJ Board Member, offers a timely reminder: research must matter. Not just in citations or rankings, but in lives changed, systems transformed, and futures reimagined. Her call for “purposeful research” goes beyond academic rigor—it is about intentionality, contextual relevance, and collaborative innovation. Whether it’s bridging urban-rural health gaps, localizing AI, or designing equitable healthcare policies, researchers must now ask: "Why are we doing this, and for whom?" Thank you, Prof., for articulating what many feel: It’s no longer enough to publish or perish. We must now strive to impact or become irrelevant. As academics, let us commit to research that co-creates with communities, translates into action, and reflects our nations' real needs. #PurposefulResearch #MalaysiaHealthcare #ResearchImpact #AcademicLeadership #TransformativeResearch #Scopus #HealthInnovation #UTM #KPJU #ProfFauziah news.utm.my/2025/05/purposef…
