Recording available: Women Leaders in Scholarly Publishing: Empowering Self and Inspiring Others

The field of scholarly publishing faces significant challenges related to DEIA, and gender is one critical dimension that demands attention. While women are in many roles within publishing, there are too few leading publishing houses. Improvement is needed, and this session focuses on the role of women in leadership. In an area where we know gender disparities persist, it is heartening to recognize that women are at the forefront, leading the way in various roles.

Our speakers occupy key leadership positions across different domains within scholarly publishing. We cordially invite you to join us to engage with this panel of women leaders. Our primary goal is to inspire and empower others within the industry by sharing experiences and insights. We hope to encourage more women to follow in these remarkable footsteps.
