STS Academic Publishing As a Work of Service and Hope: A Conversation with Vivette García-Deister
Wednesday, 18 June, 2025
This bonus content is a reading from Platypus, the CASTAC Blog. The full post by Vivette GarcĂa-Deister can be read at https://blog.castac.org/2025/06/sts-academic-publishing-as-a-work-of-service-and-hope-a-conversation-with-vivette-garcia-deister/. About the post: I believe that my job as an editor is to encourage conversations and foster a dialogue between different epistemic traditions. To achieve this, I pay attention to the topics that are being discussed (...) There is a challenge in making explicit the relevance of the knowledge produced in Latin America at a global level. We aim to make authors’ work visible at very different stages of their careers, from graduate students to established researchers. We guide authors to make their inter-translations as generative as possible (by this I mean, English versions of their texts that do not lose their local specificities). We also organize a peer review system that includes reviewers from the Global North and South. (This episode is available in additional languages on Platypus, The CASTAC Blog.)
