Author Courses
Underrepresentation of many global populations in developmental science weakens the field by skewing conclusions, programs, and teachings— at great cost to those excluded and in conflict with SRCD values. This course explores how underrepresentation persists and what you, as an author, can do to recognize bias, contextualize findings, support inclusive research, and elevate underrepresented voices to build a more representative science.
Reviewer Courses
Academic publishing shows persistent bias in both topics and whose work gets published—a pattern known as epistemic exclusion, where contributions from minoritized scholars and non-dominant research are devalued. Since peer review plays a central role in this bias, reviewers have the power to challenge exclusion and promote equity by applying the practices outlined in this course.
Editor Courses
Editors are in a unique position to shape what gets published, which voices are amplified, and what norms are reinforced. This course explores the sources of bias in editorial processes and provides tools and policies editors can adopt to ensure more inclusive peer review, diverse authorship, and fair assessment of research from underrepresented populations or perspectives.
