When: 14 May, 14:00-14:45 (CEST)
Where: Online via Zoom
Speakers: Dr Magdalena Żadkowska (University of Gdańsk) and Miguel Santinhos (Elsevier)
A 45-minute Open Forum conversation with Magdalena Żadkowska, University of Gdańsk, and Miguel Santinhos, Elsevier, where they explored how integrating gender-sensitive practices into academic publishing can foster systemic change across research and academia.
Based on insights from the MINDtheGEPs deliverable Gendering Scientific Publications Guidelines and the latest policy brief Reviewing for Gender Equality: Leveraging Scientific Publishing for Systemic Change, this session dives into key questions, including:
- What practical steps can researchers and publishers take to ensure gender equality in academic publishing?
- Is gender perspective a tool to change the publish-or-perish game?
- How can early academic training influence more inclusive research practices?
- Why is a human-centric approach essential for the future of scientific publishing?
- And how institutions such as universities and publishing houses can become the game changers?
Magdalena and Miguel shared their different experiences and perspectives in a conversation-style webinar, followed by a live Q&A with the audience.
