Publication Forum

Hello everyone! As part of the activities we are preparing with the conference “Decolonizing Global Studies: Charting Trends, Mapping Trajectories,” we are also having a Special Session and Conversation with Academic Publishers and Academic Journal Editors this September 10, 2020, 1:00-4:30 PM. We asked our panelists to share something about the respective publishing house/press they are part and academic journals they are editing; share insights and tips for those who wish to publish their papers. Maybe we can also ask them about their experience and adjustment during this context of the global pandemic. Exciting discussions ahead, right?

Those who will be notified with the Zoom credentials for the conference will also receive the Zoom credentials for this special session.
