Abstract

How do disciplines such as political science, public policy, and international relations understand, adapt to, and potentially reform gendered processes of knowledge production and dissemination? And within Asia, are there special or specific aspects of this question that merit closer consideration and concern? We wanted to confront and engage with these questions regarding a particular aspect of how scholarly practices are gendered: the ways in which gender‐based differences lead to biases in academic publishing and subsequent long‐term career success. With a generous grant from the British Academy (grant number WW21100175), we convened a series of writing workshops for early career researchers (ECRs) in the social sciences from and based in Southeast Asia from 2021 to 2022.Titled “Beyond Essentialism,” the writing workshops took as a motivating objective to encourage, help develop, and eventually showcase scholarly works of female ECRs from Southeast Asia in the social sciences regardless of whether the works themselves touched on or engaged with issues of gender. We wanted to move beyond long‐standing assumptions, in the social sciences and within Asia, that female scholars study issues related to women and gender, traditionally come from disciplinary backgrounds such as sociology and history, and orient themselves to particular methodological
