CIPPM\u2019s Claudy Op den Kamp<\/a> participated in a critical conversation on scholarly publishing at the Atlantis<\/a> journal\u2019s 50th anniversary conference \u2018Revolution and Resurgence: Celebrating Feminist Publishing<\/a>\u2019 held at Mount Saint Vincent University, Halifax, on 28-29 November 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The panel, titled \u2018Scholarly Publishing, Beyond Peer-Review, and Public-Facing Research,\u2019 brought together Op den Kamp with Claudia Mitchell<\/a> (McGill University), Ann Smith<\/a> (Girlhood Studies), and Safaneh Mohaghegh Neyshabouri<\/a> to examine how academic publishing intersects with feminist approaches and concerns about accessibility.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Op den Kamp discussed her shift away from journal articles toward videographic scholarship. Working across theory and practice, she explained how teaching on a practical film programme prompted her to ask: \u2018How can I tell my students about the origins of the thing they\u2019re studying?\u2019 Rather than writing papers for a handful of specialists, she began visualising her research through video essays \u2013 work that proved both intellectually and creatively fulfilling while reaching audiences beyond academia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

When asked about changes needed in academic publishing, Op den Kamp advocated for transparency in peer review. Currently anonymous and one-directional, she argued the process should become \u2018an actual two-way, transparent conversation with the goal of genuinely making the work better\u2019 rather than functioning primarily as gatekeeping.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The panel addressed broader equity concerns in feminist publishing, including how language standards and review processes can reinforce colonial practices, and the challenges of open-access funding models that privilege certain publication formats over others.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The conference marked Atlantis journal\u2019s five decades of publishing critical feminist research and creative work.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
