Submitted my social-justice related paper to a US-based journal around 8am EST&rejected by10am. This is allegedly after 3 internal members “checked” the manuscript. Well done journal coordinating with three academics so early on a Monday morning. #academiccencorship at its best. #teachingispolitical
Thank you!

Indeed! This is partly why we are organizing this event to have these conversations. Though the name of the event suggests a focus on ELT, we welcome abstracts for the education of other languages as well.
