Applications are currently being accepted for the 2024 British Academy International Writing Workshops. The purpose of the Writing Workshops is to foster professional networks, and mentorship, and provide access to early career researchers in developing countries.
The goal is to familiarize them with the academic requirements of journals, including international ones, and equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to successfully publish in these journals.
British Academy International Writing Workshops 2024
Through the Writing Workshops program, the British Academy aims to support and encourage early career researchers in developing countries to publish their work in highly influential journals in the humanities and social sciences. The workshops also aim to facilitate connections between researchers and academics, as well as journal editors both nationally and internationally. By doing so, the workshops serve as a significant career intervention, working towards long-term changes in academic culture and engaging with the broader ecosystem that researchers are a part of.
These workshops are scheduled to be held in Brazil, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Kenya, Malaysia, Philippines, South Africa, Turkey, Thailand, Vietnam, and/or Least Developed Countries.
