When is Research Localized? Eurocentrism in Research on Sexual(ized) Violence in Higher Education. Drawing on the Indonesian Context
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Research on sexual(ized) violence in higher education has largely focused on cases from the United States and the United Kingdom, which are presented as representative examples worldwide. In contrast, research on cases in the Global South is framed as locally specific. This article examines how such geographic framing occurs through an analysis of metadata – titles, abstracts, and keywords – in three leading journals on violence research. The findings show that Global North cases are frequently presented without explicit country references, contributing to their universalization, while Global South cases are clearly marked and treated as context bound. Drawing on the Indonesian context, the article highlights how locally grounded activism and policy developments challenge dominant academic narratives. It argues that academic publishing practices contribute to epistemic violence by reinforcing global hierarchies in knowledge production.
KEYWORDS: Eurocentrism; Sexual Violence; Higher Education; Epistemic Violence; Sexual Harassment; Structural Inequality
