Promoting Publishing in the Field of Gender and Development in Nepal

The workshops will build the research capacity of early career researchers researching gender in Nepal-based higher education institutions by improving their chances of getting published in high impact journals. The workshops will be co-delivered by a team of UK-based and Nepali scholars with support from Tribhuvan University and Social Science Baha. This workshop programme will include: pre-session webinars that will include practical sessions on the academic writing and publishing process; physical workshops that will include guided discussion and input on academic writing, publishing, journal submission, and review processes; presentation of draft papers and feedback; and invited speakers/editors; and monthly online tutorials to provide mentorship and peer support to participants. The workshops outcomes will include: a paper submission by early career researchers in high impact journals; awareness of academic writing and publication processes; initiation/development of regional/international academic collaborative projects on gender studies; and the establishment of a Gender and Development Research Network to facilitate dialogue and collaboration beyond the workshops.
