Amplifying Sub-Saharan African Climate Adaptation Research: Bridging the Epistemic Gap and Promoting Global Visibility
York St John University
£30,000.00
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is struggling to adapt to climate change impacts, such as droughts. However, SSA climate change researchers are acutely underrepresented in science publications, hence have low influence in international debates. This is also a justice issue, because SSA has fewer opportunities to justify and showcase their science-based and indigenous knowledge solutions. This project will support early-career SSA researchers in improving their writing and publishing skills. The project team will guide them on how to publish in international journals and books through workshops, mentorship, and collaboration. The first in-person workshop will take place in Kenya, and the second in South Africa, involving early-career researchers from least-developed SSA countries. This project will contribute to the representation and visibility of early-career SSA researchers in global climate science and policy debates. It will help achieve climate justice by promoting equity, diversity and inclusion of locally produced knowledge in global climate solutions.

Writing Mixed-race into Critical Race Discourse: Learnings from Brazil and South Africa
University of Edinburgh
£29,991.80
The workshops seek to collectively chart the experiences and conceptualizations of mixed race persons in Brazil and South Africa and imagine or dream alternative futures. Workshops are conceptualised using Black decolonial feminisms and postcolonial methodologies which consider multiple entanglements of oppression in previously colonised spaces and draw attention to lived experiences and oral histories as valid forms of “evidence”. By carving space for the voices of people racialized as mixed race, along with the views of anti-racist scholars and activists, the project aims to create an archive of mixed race experiences which may be used to update current understandings of mixed-race identity and its implications for critical race theoretical frameworks. Early Career Scholars will benefit from the workshops by being introduced to contemporary debates and scholarship on - as well as lived experiences of - mixed race, furthering an understanding of the importance of considering mixed-ness in critical race scholarship.

Enhancing academic writing processes and practice: strengthening academic writing skills in East Africa (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania).
Royal Holloway, University of London
£29,925.00
LMIC academics face barriers to publishing in high-impact international journals. Lack of funds for journal and library subscriptions prohibit keeping up-to-date with latest research and preclude publishing in journals with high Article Processing Charges (APCs). Lack of exposure to high-impact journals results in poor awareness of journal requirements. When funding is available, inexperience makes authors vulnerable to predatory publishers. Challenges are heightened for social scientists, whose work is often highly conceptual and expected to be critical of the most recent theories and theoretical approaches. The projects core team of social science academics and international journal editors proposes to work with existing partners in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda, alongside the teams BA ODA Research Management Capacity Strengthening grant, to improve partners’ academic writing skills, increase access/exposure to high-quality academic writing, and heighten understanding of international journal processes across 24 months of continuous online training/mentorship sandwiching a week-long Writing Workshop in Kenya (summer 2026).

Human Rights Education and Activism in South-East Asia: Developing the Publication and Grant-writing Capacity of ECR Scholar-Activists in Challenging Political Times
University of Manchester
£29,760.00
The aim of this workshop programme is to develop the capacity of 24 ECR ‘scholar-activists’ in the fields of human rights education and activism in South-East Asia (SEA) to write for publication, to successfully apply for research funding and to cascade this learning to other scholar-activists. Amidst the recent re-emergence of social protest movements in SEA, the space for human rights education and activism has become fraught. Most countries in SEA have been identified by international organisations as falling short of human rights goals, and those who speak out against injustices, including academics, can face severe consequences. Therefore, supporting scholar-activists based in universities, to communicate for positive, democratic change is imperative and urgent. The impact and longevity of this programme will be assured through its outputs, including up to three journal special issues, two conference symposia and a website with open access multi-media teaching materials on writing for academic publication.

Bridging Research to Publication: Advanced Writing Workshops for Jordanian Early Career Researchers
Council for British Research in the Levant
£28,053.00
The Jordanian academic community comprises a youthful, well-educated population. However, Jordanian early career researchers face major barriers to engaging with international academic discourse and publishing in international journals, especially in subjects related to the humanities and social sciences. Challenges begin at the pre-doctoral level, with limited in-country PhD programmes and scholarships, and highly competitive (and often socially unacceptable) oversees opportunities. Early career academics fortunate to gain employment at one of Jordan's universities face striking teaching burdens with limited opportunity for research and publication time. As publication preparation time is scarce it must be maximised, yet Jordanian early career academics are confronted with a serious lack of in-country experience of successful international publishing in SHAPE disciplines.
The Council for British Research in the Levant (CBRL) aims to overcome this roadblock through workshops provided as part of a dedicated mentoring scheme delivered to the Jordanian early career academic community by international experts.
