Dear colleagues,
please find attached a call for early-career scholars to apply to this wonderful workshop in Johannesburg from 12-16 May 2025 about publishing and academic career success (see attachment). This is for early career researchers in South Africa, Lesotho and Zambia only. Sorry to the rest of the world, you won't be eligible to apply. Next time ;)
Since the early 2000s, innovation, digital technologies, and entrepreneurship have become crucial for Southern Africa's development. However, knowledge production has been skewed, with scholars from well-resourced Western institutions
dominating knowledge production. Many Southern African academics face challenges getting published in high-impact (Q2 and Q1) journals, limiting the global reach of their perspectives. This program addresses these issues by supporting twenty early career researchers from various disciplines like Information Systems, Anthropology and Management from South Africa, Lesotho, and Zambia. Participants will enhance their academic writing and publishing skills through a four-day
writing workshop and one-on-one mentoring for a year.
Warmly
Tim
