ABSTRACT
This Postscript offers some personal reflections on the challenges and promises of working and living in both the north and the south of the globe. At a time when the discipline of criminology is faced with significant intellectual challenges in the form of the emergence of Southern criminology neither being ‘here’ or ‘there’ renders distancing from both contexts in which connections to colleagues and the discipline change their shape and form. These processes sometimes leave a vacuum and are sometimes filled with intellectual excitement and occasional vision. All of which can take an emotional toll particularly when presented with demands that ‘criminologists fly economy’ (Blaustein, 2017). In this concluding chapter these experiences are used as a touchstone in the call for the development of a publicly engaged, emotional criminology.
