| News and views from the South |
 Central to the philosophy of global education is the idea that we must question and challenge our perceptions, and not assume that our vantage point is neutral.
Enabling people to see the world from diverse perspectives, and in particular from the perspectives of those from and living in the global south, is an important part of the work of the global educator.
The following links are to web sites from countries of the south. Check them out for a different view of the world.
If you know of any good sources of news and current affairs from the global south, contact us and let us know. |

Panchayat is a discussion forum that aims to critically assess and debate pressing issues in contemporary South Asia. The site provides a portal to other news sites in South Asia
The South Asian aims to present news of people and events in South Asia, and news in the US that we feel is relevant to our communities. It also aims to provide a platform for discussion and analysis of events happening in South Asia.
Lines is an online magazine that engages with the political spaces of Sri Lanka. We seek to provide a forum that inspires and challenges us to critically scrutinize the terms of received debates, and enable alternative political imaginaries.
While Sri Lanka is the principle reference for the conversations engaged with in lines, it is not the sole concern. We actively seek articles that engage with the kind of issues enumerated above in addressing different territorial entities, from the occupied territories of Palestine to the state of Gujarat in India.
