YOU BELONG HERE. 1 - Academic publishing as radical praxis
Join us for a lunchtime session that frames an approach to academic publication based on intersectional feminist and decolonising principles. Through this framing, we outline the journey from manuscript preparation, submission, and revision through to publication. The session invites creative researchers to consider referencing, peer review, and distribution of knowledge through academic publication as community-building work with the potential of being a site for radical praxis.
Facilitator: Dr Kyoung Kim, Managing Editor of Feminist Review
Free to attend, but registration is required.

The Feminist Review Collective edits and publishes Feminist Review, a pioneering interdisciplinary journal that explores gender in its multiple forms and interrelationships with other social categories and systems of power, publishing accessible knowledge and timely interventions that build on the work of Black, Indigenous, decolonial, and transnational feminist struggles. Publishing since 1979, Feminist Review has a global editorial board and readership, and currently prints and distributes in partnership with Sage Publications Ltd. The Feminist Review Collective is committed to inspiring exchanges of ideas and explorations of praxis that address, disrupt, and break through structural violence to make and nurture communities, connections, and ways of sharing knowledge founded on mutual respect, kindness, and care. We are committed to building, living, and extending a space of radical feminist practice that places care at its heart.
The UAL Decolonising Arts Institute (DeAI) seeks to challenge imperial legacies, ongoing colonial violence, and disrupting ways of seeing, listening, thinking, and making to drive cultural, social and institutional change. We imagine the Institute as a decentred, disruptive, evolving and porous space. As the Institute evolves, we aim to amplify local and global movements to decolonise and address the complex genealogies and geographies of postcolonial, decolonial and intersectional thinking and practice.
