Research can only be truly inclusive and global if voices from all locations, genders, ethnicities, backgrounds and areas of experience are heard and represented across all stages of knowledge production and academic publishing, from Editors and Editorial Boards to reviewers and authors.
This roundtable will examine what we mean by diversity and inclusion within the context of Central Asian, Russian and Eastern European Studies publishing. How do we currently gauge diversity within knowledge production, how else could diversity be assessed, and are there any issues with these methods? How can we encourage and ensure inclusivity within research outputs in our field and are there any barriers that need to be deconstructed in order to represent diverse voices?
Examining data on submissions and reviewers within leading academic journals in Central Asian, Russian and Eastern European Studies, this roundtable will also explore whether journal networks have become more diverse in recent years and will highlight examples of successful and ongoing diversification strategies from other fields of Social Sciences & Humanities.
