We are soliciting conference presentations from (and for) publishing and library professionals, scholars, faculty, and publishing students. Topic ideas include, but are not limited to:
• Ways to ensure publishing is inclusive: in all its dimensions
• Making sure diverse voices are part of the conversation about inclusion, equity, and accessibility
• Work to ensure peer review, authorship, editing, publications metrics, etc., are equitable and free of bias
• Can equitable, inclusive, and accessible publishing become a reality instead of a goal?
• Institutional efforts to increase diversity, for example, within the Association of University Press (AUPresses), Society for Scholarly Publishing (SSP), and other publishing institutions.
• Financial equity and sustainability, such as institutional support, access to research and publications, as ethical issues.
• Accessibility as an ethical issue
• How publishers can ensure publications are more accessible
Alumni and current students in the GW Publishing program are also invited to present on their Ethics in Publishing Capstone projects, including both "Making the World Better" projects and Case Studies..
Presentations will include panels as well as "PechaKucha" style, short talks.
