Raewyn Connell, based at University of Sydney, has been recognized so far as an international scholar in gender studies (among others: Masculinities, Cambridge: Polity Press, 1995; Gender, Cambridge: Polity Press 2001).

Southern Theory: The Global Dynamics of Knowledge in Social Science. Sydney, Allen & Unwin Australia; Cambridge, Polity Press. Starting with a critique of Northern sociology, this tells the story of my encounters with social thought from sub-Saharan Africa, Iran, India, Latin America and Australia, and then reflects on the nature of a global social science. It’s deliberately not a treatise, but an attempt to trace conceptual learning across spaces and cultural divides.

Southern Theory presents the case for a radical re-thinking of social science and its relationships to knowledge, power and democracy on a world scale. Mainstream social science pictures the world as understood by the educated and affluent in Europe and North America. From Weber and Keynes to Friedman and Foucault, theorists from the global North dominate the imagination of social scientists, and the reading lists of students, all over the world.

Southern Theory: Social Science and the Global Dynamics of Knowledge. 0745642497 (ISBN13: 9780745642499). In this book Raewyn Connell builds a compelling critique of sociology that draws out many of the problems of using metropolitan ideas in the periphery. There are three sections – a critical outline of the development of sociology and critique of analyses of globalisation, a set of case studies of scholars from outside the periphery (west Africa, Latin America, Iran, India) whose work shows the limitations of metropolitan theory, and a case for sociological analyses grounded in place, in which she draws on Australia (and she says, the place.

Much of her empirical work uses biographical (life-history) interviewing, in education, family life and workplaces. Her 2007 book Southern Theory extended this to the global dynamics of knowledge production, critiquing the "Northern" bias of mainstream social science which is predominately produced in "metropolitan" universities. In doing so, she argues, metropolitan social theory fails to adequately explain social phenomena in the Southern experience.
