The 4th writeshop draws participants from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean.
The Writeshop aims to improve young researchers’ strategic knowledge and practical skills in international journal publication and impact. This includes choosing journals; building ideas about and framing/writing journal manuscripts; overall preparation and submission of journal manuscripts; dealing with peer review reports, and so on. It will include sessions by leading academics on key debates and literature in critical agrarian studies, and concepts in and practices of scholar-activism. The 5-day Writeshop will include peer review discussions on participants’ draft journal manuscripts, conducted in small groups with mentors and facilitators.
