Overview
WAIB and Palgrave Macmillan are working together to encourage more women into authoring and editing academic books. Key to expanding our understanding and exploring new avenues for research is to hear from a range of voices around the globe. And yet the field of international business does not offer an adequate balance of female and diverse voices. With this series of workshops we seek to understand the challenges that women face in the world of academic book publishing and try to address them. We aim to demystify the publishing process and help you connect with experienced female authors.
