鈥淕lobal North countries have always led the production of knowledge, thereby we follow their lead in this matter. Dr. Moosavi had an idea to break the barrier and decolonize the Global South's knowledge production. My attention is on gender, on women who still need much support in producing knowledge,鈥� Professor Nurmila said.
