Session 8a - Diversity in Commissioning
Multiple recent surveys and articles have shown that publishing is an overwhelmingly white, straight, cis, able-bodied industry. This session will examine diversity in commissioning: what are the challenges and issues faced by publishers in attempting to improve diversity in their lists and remove barriers to inclusion? How are commissioning editors reaching out to more BIPOC authors and building lists that are more reflective of the communities we serve? Speakers will reflect on their experiences to date and what they consider to be the challenges and successes in building more equitable paths for authors from all backgrounds in scholarly publishing.
