Chair: Dr Amanda Chisholm
Speaker: Professor Andrew Dorman
Abstract
Do women publish less journal articles than men? This is a question has been posed in numerous studies across various academic disciplines and countries. The answer is overwhelming yes. More sticky questions that has underpinned emerging commentary within academic circles is why does this gap exist, how does this gap impact on our knowledge around war, conflict, security and international relations, how might including more female authors and indeed more diverse perspectives impact what we know about global politics most broadly?
These questions are taken seriously by the International Affairs journal in their commitment for a 50/50 gender equality goal in published articles. Join us as we talk to Prof Andrew Dorman, editor of International Affairs as he talks through why IA’s gender equality challenge is important and what journals can do to address this gender gap.
