Encinas, Mabel (2024) Academic publishing as a novice lesbian scholar: an intersectional experience. In: Novice LGBTQ+ Scholars’ Practices in Writing for Scholarly Publication. Routledge Studies in English for Research Publication Purposes . Routledge, New York, USA; Abingdon-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, England, UK, pp. 147-196. ISBN 9781032227870
This chapter uses an intersectional lens to discuss some of the meanings of being a lesbian migrant early-career scholar striving to publish in the UK. Practices and experiences of publication are analysed considering how structural inequalities and discrimination based on gender, race, migration, age, and sexual orientation, among others, intersect in the context of scholarly publishing. This exploration uses Black lesbian feminist theory and an autoethnographic-informed approach to analyse poetry. The chapter involves a reflective approach on the importance of transforming contexts in ways that challenge structural inequalities that are institutionally embedded, such as the reduction of barriers in the working conditions and the creation of supportive environments for writing and publishing. This chapter also addresses some of the implications for the creation of a more diverse and inclusive community in which minoritised LGBTQ+ early-career scholars with all aspects of their identity can participate more equally and widely in the academic publishing arena.
