معرفی
Shagufta Haneef is a researcher at Aalborg University, affiliated with both the Aalborg University Business School and the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. She is also associated with the MIX - Center for Displacement, Migration and Integration. Her research focuses on innovation systems, particularly in the context of the Global South, underdevelopment, and indigenous capabilities for innovation.
Dr. Haneef's research interests center on the intersection of innovation, development, and social inclusion, with particular emphasis on the Global South context. Her work examines how indigenous capabilities can foster innovation in developing countries, challenges the traditional narratives of underdevelopment, and explores the role of educational institutions (particularly women's universities) in promoting inclusive development. She has made significant contributions to understanding the complex relationships between innovation systems, economic development, and social equity in marginalized communities.
Her recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on innovation systems theory applied to development contexts, with increasing attention to gender dimensions and sustainability challenges. The articles show a progression from theoretical explorations of innovation in the Global South to more applied studies examining specific institutional contexts like women's universities. Her research consistently bridges theoretical innovation studies with practical development challenges, particularly in African contexts as evidenced by her project involvement.
Dr. Haneef has been actively involved in major research initiatives including the AfricaLics project (in two phases) and the SIDA project, all focused on enhancing research capacity on innovation and development in Africa. These projects represent significant collaborative efforts with international partners aimed at building competence in innovation studies across the African continent.
She is affiliated with the MIX - Center for Displacement, Migration and Integration, which suggests her research also connects innovation studies with migration and integration challenges, reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of her scholarly work.
