Writing and Publishing: Navigating Visibility, Voice, and Academic Knowledge Production – 14 July 2026, 16.00 – 17.00 CET

The ATGENDER Early Career Researchers (ECR) Working Group warmly invites all ATGENDER members to join the second ECR Roundtable of 2026, dedicated to Writing and Publishing in Gender Studies and related fields.

Taking place on 14 July 2026, 16:00-17:00 CET, this roundtable will bring together scholars with diverse experiences of academic writing, publishing, and knowledge production across different institutional, disciplinary, and geopolitical contexts.

Writing and publishing remain central yet often challenging aspects of academic life, particularly for early career researchers navigating increasingly competitive and unequal academic landscapes. Beyond questions of publication strategies and career development, researchers are frequently confronted with broader concerns around intellectual freedom, audience engagement, collaboration, and the ethics of producing knowledge on sensitive or politically contested topics.

This session will create space for an open and reflective conversation on these challenges. Our invited speakers, Estella Carpi, Denis Muhangi, and Ece Canli, will draw on their own scholarly trajectories, expertise, and positionalities to discuss the realities of publishing within and beyond mainstream academic outlets. Together, they will explore questions such as navigating barriers to publication, balancing academic expectations with community engagement, writing about sensitive topics without self-censorship, fostering collaborative research environments, and learning from both successes and setbacks along the way.
