We are starting a new academic journal! 🧵
Introducing the Journal of Global Higher Education @GlobalHigherEdJ, an open access and independent journal
Aims and scope: drive.google.com/file/d/1PZC…
Call for editorial board members (due Nov 15): docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
Very excited to be launching this new journal with @JLMittelmeier, Melissa Whatley & Charlies Mathies - will explain why below 1/
📢Call For Editorial Board Members📢
The Journal of Global Higher Education seeks members to join our editorial board! Click on the link to learn more about the journal, our vision, and open positions:

But it's been a pure delight working with these colleagues and the wider editorial board, figuring out how to create a space with longevity, sustainability, and ethics built at the heart. 5/
Turns out it's a bit harder than we all expected and I'm maybe naively shocked by the fact that DOIs are paid for, that editorial management software is rarely open access and that universities are not necessarily prepared to front the cost of hosting. So it's taken a while 4/
With a recent dramatic turn of events in a journal that shall remain unnamed, it became clear that even journals that start out that way don't necessarily stay that way. So we decided to make one! 3/
There are very few journals in our space (international/global HE, international students, practice, etc) that are truly Open Access - free for authors, free for readers AND good quality. 2/
Really looking forward to this event with @KathrynTelling and @TomFryer4

Said this before and I’ll say it again. If pensioners above a certain income are no longer entitled to winter fuel allowance, then MPs earning over £90k should no longer get energy expenses. Also MPs should no longer get food allowance when they’re unwilling to give free school meals to kids from lowest income households. Why are you entitled to expenses but the people who NEED it most are not?
