Abstract
The development discourse, and the field of law and development as a corollary, have largely maintained that their primary focus is on the global south, as a geographical region and as a socio-economic and conceptual category. And while this claim is not entirely wrong, the categories within these fields, the framing of issues, the identification of the problems and the provision of solutions tend to adopt a certain approach inherent within the discourse which excludes the agency, voices and struggles of those that inhabit this global south. The underdeveloped, impoverished, colonised, enslaved and the unequal are often spoken about and sometimes even spoken to, but not always invited to the podium. This is a problem present in law and development teaching as well, and it affects our choices of classroom resources, our terminologies, our selection of topics, the framing of discussions and the suggested ways in which the future could be shaped. This session, therefore, will be devoted to an elaboration of these issues and I will draw on my own experience in terms of developing and teaching courses on human rights, development and legal research, in the hope of inviting useful insights on the subject.
