HDR/ECR Workshop with Journal Editors: Demystifying the Journal Publishing Process
Deakin University (Deakin Downtown Campus, Central Melbourne)
Monday 2 March, 2026
3pm-4.30pm
Are you a PhD student or early-career scholar in the social sciences looking for insights into the international journal publication process? On Monday 2 March, Deakin University’s School of Humanities & Social Sciences will be hosting a 1.5hr interactive workshop on this theme with three journal editors: Prof Sam Friedman (Editor, The British Journal of Sociology), A/Prof Kiran Pienaar (Editor, Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, Technoscience), and A/Prof Timothy Neale (Editor, Science, Technology & Human Values).
Workshop participation is open to PhD students and early-career scholars who are up to five years post-PhD. The workshop will include short presentations from the journal editors followed by small group sessions in which attendees will workshop their abstracts with peers and support from a journal editor. Information-sharing and discussions during the workshop will be designed to help demystify the publishing process.
To join, please email A/Prof Rose Butler (rose....@deakin.edu.au) and register your interest by 20 February, 2026. Come along with an abstract to be shared and any questions. This is an in-person only event.
