Working towards Equity and Inclusion in Journal Publication, Columbia University via Zoom, April 4, 2022, 5:00–6:30 pm (EDT)

What does it take to make journal publishing function more inclusively and transparently? In this workshop, participants will discuss their perspectives on future paths for greater equity and inclusion in authorship, the division of labor, peer review, the constitution of editorial boards, and consider the ways in which journals can foster the diversity of all participants. Presenters will address the ways in which institutional contexts (universities, university presses, scholarly societies) shape journal operations, and consider how the relationships between journals and institutions can lead to support for enhanced inclusion and equity.

Panelists 

  • Susan Boynton (organizer) and Diane Reilly (Indiana University), coeditors of Gesta
  • Joy Calico, Vanderbilt University (former editor of Journal of the American Musicological Society)
  • Laina Dawes, former editor of Current Musicology
  • Alex Gil coeditor of archipelagos
