Decolonising Academic Publishing With Afro-Brazilian and Indigenous Researchers 

The key aim of this programme is to improve the career prospects for PPI (preto, pardo e indígena) scholars in Brazil, thus responding to an urgent need to increase the numbers of Black, mixed-race and Indigenous teaching and research staff at Brazilian universities. Working with one well-established research institute (Instituto de Artes, UNICAMP) and one “new” university (Universidade Federal do Sul da Bahia), along with a multidisciplinary group of UK-based scholars with considerable experience of journal editing, the programme will also encourage the development of a sustainable research network of PPI researchers in different regions in Brazil. The proposed series of in-person workshops and online specialist publication talks will develop the publishing skills of Indigenous and Afro-Brazilian early career researchers, with a focus on promoting interdisciplinary and decolonial knowledge and encouraging greater take-up of such knowledge by leading international journals in the Humanities and Social Sciences
