Introduction: South-South Sexualities Research Frameworks: A Kaleidoscope of Methodological Perspectives 

Author: Adriana Ortiz-Ortegaa

Abstract

The main premise of this article is that sexualities studies can be strengthened through intense international exchanges among countries located in the South. We highlight this finding through a methodological exploration of an international South-South research-action project carried out within academic settings in Argentina, Chile, China, Mexico, and South Africa.

Our main contributions are the way in which the combined use of virtual networking, inclusive leadership, and participatory methodologies resulted in intense academic exchange. Specifically, attentiveness to local concerns and realities was a key methodological decision based in the adaptation of the original protocol. In turn, these lead to curricula renovation, community building, and the strengthening of networks. Our conclusions are that sexualities studies remain fragile but are visible, multiple, and decentralized. Additionally, funding by international organizations remains critical to move forward. Given that this is a unique project—thus no other empirical evidence supports the argument presented here—we emphasize the importance of testing this model both within the field of sexualities studies and its possible applications to different fields of knowledge.
