Mentoring series: getting published in international geography journals - a workshop for non-anglophone scholars

The Latin American Geographies Research Group is hosting a mentoring workshop aimed in particular at scholars coming from non-Anglophone and global south contexts.

The workshop aims to provide an overview of the publishing landscape and process, considering the particular linguistic, epistemic and institutional structures that need to be navigated.

Led by colleagues with experience editing major international journals, it will provide advice and suggestions for how to navigate the Anglophone geography publishing landscape with opportunities for Q&A and discussion in small groups with the editors.

While the workshop builds on our experience in mentoring and supporting colleagues from a Latin American background, the workshop will be of interest to anyone seeking to better understand Anglophone geography and its journals.
