Dear All, I am putting together the following session for the ISA in Gwangju, Korea <https://www.isa-sociology.org/en/conferences/world-congress/gwangju-2027>, July 4-10th, 2027. I am looking for 4 papers to be presented there. I realize you are all very busy, but maybe you are interested or have colleagues and/or graduate students who might be interested? If their paper fits, it will be automatically accepted, as I am hosting the session as a board member of the RC20 Comparative Sociology and it is already allocated to us. I only need a title and abstract for the session for now. Thanks! TITLE: How to Use Anticolonial and Postcolonial Research Methods Using Global North Indicators ABSTRACT: There is a slew of new datasets that extend into the Global South the well-established Global North Indicators like GDP, Government Consumption, Decommodification, Gini, Replacement Rates, and so forth, that are the basis for comparative sociology, economic sociology, political economy, social inequality and social policy research. At the same time Postcolonial and Anticolonial research suggests rejecting or re-writing the ontologies of sociological research. Thus, potentially rejecting the conceptions of indicators developed to promote Global North social, economic and cultural hegemony. These new data offer unique opportunities to compare countries and regions; however is this compatible with new research agendas? The question that is central to this session is whether such extensions of Global North Indicators into Global South countries, is compatible with Postcolonial and Anticolonial methods. The session accepts all submission types: theoretical, methodological, conceptual and empirical.
