The Social Justice Education Departmental Student Association (SJE DSA) is excited to host our first Lunch & Learn session of the school year, “Academic Publishing: Process and Politics.”

This workshop will be led by Dr. Lore/tta LeMaster (she/they), recently appointed Associate Professor of Queer Studies in the Department of Social Justice Education.

We will invite graduate students to critically reflect on academic publishing — including outlet selection, manuscript preparation, best practices for strong submissions, conducting and receiving anonymous peer reviews, accepting rejection, and completing effective revisions. In addition to discussing formal publishing processes, this workshop will address intersectional publication politics: citation politics, name and gender changes and the finality of publication, English hegemony, single vs. collaborative writing models, debates on AI usage in writing and review, author order, and writing on politicized topics, for example.

This workshop provides critical insight into publication processes so that attendees can make informed decisions for their research trajectory. Please note: written work will not be reviewed as part of this workshop.

Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.
