Course Overview

The KNOW Doctoral Training Course
“Co-producing Doctoral Urban Research in the Global South” is an online short course which aims to:

​

• Mobilise urban equality and epistemic justice as critical lenses for engaging with urban development challenges for a diversity of students from universities across the UK;

• Provide the space for a critical discussion about the theory and practice of knowledge co-production; 

• Generate a supportive co-learning environment for students to reflect on the current or potential contributions of knowledge co-production to their doctoral research; 

• Contribute to the development of a UK Urban Learning Hub which brings together urban researchers who engage with issues of knowledge co-production and urban equality.
