CIFOR-ICRAF s’attaque aux défis et aux opportunités locales tout en apportant des solutions aux problèmes mondiaux concernant les forêts, les paysages, les populations et la planète.

Nous fournissons des preuves et des solutions concrètes pour transformer l’utilisation des terres et la production alimentaire : conserver et restaurer les écosystèmes, répondre aux crises mondiales du climat, de la malnutrition, de la biodiversité et de la désertification. En bref, nous améliorons la vie des populations.

CIFOR-ICRAF publie chaque année plus de 750 publications sur l’agroforesterie, les forêts et le changement climatique, la restauration des paysages, les droits, la politique forestière et bien d’autres sujets encore, et ce dans plusieurs langues. .

CIFOR–ICRAF publishes over 750 publications every year on agroforestry, forests and climate change, landscape restoration, rights, forest policy and much more – in multiple languages.

CIFOR–ICRAF addresses local challenges and opportunities while providing solutions to global problems for forests, landscapes, people and the planet.

We deliver actionable evidence and solutions to transform how land is used and how food is produced: conserving and restoring ecosystems, responding to the global climate, malnutrition, biodiversity and desertification crises. In short, improving people’s lives.

International scientific associations and conferences as agents in the unequal circulation of knowledge

Exporter la citation

International scientific associations and conferences are commonly assumed to play a decisive role in the transnational circulation of academic knowledge. Associations themselves justify their own relevance by the extent to which they contribute to structuring a global profession and fostering international scientific exchanges. Conferences provide important spaces for such exchanges, impacting research trajectories of individuals and disciplines alike. However, a closer look at who is involved in such international venues reveals that they are often less “global” and “international” than proclaimed, and representation is highly skewed. This chapter considers international scientific associations and conferences as agents of knowledge circulation that are structured by and constitutive of multiple inequalities. It examines these inequalities and their epistemic effects by relying on literature review and our own empirical studies focusing on social sciences and the interdisciplinary field of forest research.
