    Biochar, Artificial Pollination & Multispecies Justice: In Conversation with Catherine Price

    Biochar, Artificial Pollination & Multispecies Justice: In Conversation with Catherine Price

    Our first episode of 2024 sees a return of an old friend of
    the journal and podcast, as geography academic Catherine Price (University of Nottingham, UK) talks about her contributions to Exchanges. We start by talking about her conversation with Sophie Chao entitled Multispecies, More-Than-Human, Nonhuman, Other-Than-Human: Reimagining idioms of animacy in an age of planetary unmaking, which incidentally was one of our most downloaded papers of 2023. Moving on from that we turn to Catherine’s other paper in that issue which was concerned with the question Do we need Artificial Pollination if we have Multispecies Justice in the Anthropocene? We also reflect back on the reception for Anthropocene and More-Than-Human-World
    special issue of Exchanges from last March, before moving on to look at Catherine’s future work. As always, we close with some pointers and advice for would-be academic authors.

    Queerness as Strength: Getting Involved & Contributing

    Queerness as Strength: Getting Involved & Contributing

    Rounding off 2023 we have an episode dedicated to the latest call for papers we have open for a future special issue. The Queerness as Strength special issue has been inspired and instigated by the life, passions and work of researcher and activist Jacob Thomas (Monash University, Australia), and they are here in conversation to talk about this. We explore the ideas and hopes behind the special issue call, along with considering some of the areas of discussion and contribution we hope to see. We also consider how the issue could hopefully include marginalized voices and thought from around the world, alongside the practicalities of getting involved for would be authors.

    Conceptual Association, Hydropathy & Advertising: In Conversation with Constance de Silva

    Our third in a series of 10th birthday issue celebration conversations sees me talking with linguist, cultural historian and conceptual association scholar Constance de Silva (School of Languages, Literatures, Cultures and Linguistics, Monash University, Australia) about her recent paper and ongoing research. We begin by discussing her beautifully illustrated article The Rise of Conceptual Association and Linguistic Register as Advertiser Persuasive Instruments: An Australian study of press artefacts 1800s–1950s, touching on elements from the rise of the water cure, emerging new concepts and meanings alongside the changing role of women in medicine. We also discuss her ongoing publishing activities and plans for future papers, before we close with a range of advice for fellow authors on getting published.

    ChatGPT, Reviewers from Hell & Linguistic Challenges: In Conversation with Beth Montague-Hellen

    ChatGPT, Reviewers from Hell & Linguistic Challenges: In Conversation with Beth Montague-Hellen

    Continuing our 10th birthday issue celebrations, I chatted with senior librarian and former biology Beth Montague-Hellen (Library and Information Services, Francis Crick Institute, UK) about her recent paper and ongoing work. We start by discussing her article, Placing ChatGPT in the Context of Disruptive Technology in Academic Publishing and especially the advantages and challenges such generative AI tools offer in the publishing and coding domains. We move on to talk about her contrasting experiences publishing – both as a researching library practitioner and within the biological fields, touching especially on the emotional affect overtly harsh reviewers can engender. Moving on, we talk about non-English language authors publishing in Anglosphere journals, before closing with Beth’s considered publication advice to scholars working on their earliest articles.

    Sustainability, Batteries & Pringle Cans: In Conversation with Jean Marshall

    Sustainability, Batteries & Pringle Cans: In Conversation with Jean Marshall

    Celebrating our 10th birthday issue, I have the pleasure of chatting with researcher Jean Marshall (WMG, University of Warwick) about her recent paper and ongoing research. We start by discussing her paper, Sustainability: Getting Everyone Involved, and especially about the multifactorial issues involved in achieving a greater global sustainability culture. We expand our conversation to aspects of battery technologies, polymer chemistry and recycling of multilayer materials – yes, including the Pringles can. As always, we talk about Jean’s publication experiences, manuscripts she has under development and her reflections of being a publishing academic. Finally, we close with advice for other scholars moving towards their first publications.

    Across Two Professional Worlds: In Conversation with Intissar Haddiya

    Across Two Professional Worlds: In Conversation with Intissar Haddiya

    For our 50th Episode I’m in conversation with Intissar Haddiya (Professor of Nephrology, Oujda, Morocco) about her twin lives as a practicing scholar and fiction author. Intissar featured as the subject of a recent paper in Exchanges – The Doctor-Writer Experience of Intissar Haddiya - and hence that’s why she’s appearing in discussion with us today.

    We discuss balancing her professional roles, and how the insights from each help inform her work in the differing sphere. We touch too on her experiences with professional publishing, and the advice she has for other scholars and writers of fiction looking towards their first work.
