Read the first article for our fourth issue, Borders:
“This is the oppressor’s language yet I need it to talk to you”
by Kirandeep Kaur |
|
Adrienne Rich in Burning paper instead of children once said ‘This is the oppressor’s language yet I need it to talk to you.’
As a person descended from Indian migrant parents, one of whom was born in the dying days of the British Raj, these words in Rich’s poem have a haunting quality. bell hooks in Teaching to Transgress vividly shows the complications of speaking English as both a means of continued colonial oppression and resistance. Reflecting on my own journey with academic writing and publishing, I have become increasingly convinced that academic language contains the same paradox.

With the turn of the year, once again the Exchanges journal has been delving into our statistics to discover what were our biggest hits of 2024. You can of course read the full report over on our . It has once again been fascinating to see which papers, podcasts and issues of the journal have proven the most popular with our readership in the past twelve months. Certainly, for – and we’re looking at downloads across all our issues published to date – there’s a surprising blend of new and old appearing in our top 10. Although, one further surprise is that 2023’s #1 paper is also 2024’s as well: very much a first for our league tables!
One thing these sorts of statistics show though is our readership’s appetite for articles across the disciplinary spectrum as well as interest in all formats of material which we publish. From scholarly peer-reviewed articles through insightful critical reflections to revealing conversations, every kind of paper is represented in our top table. Interesting too was discovering which editions of Exchanges readers have been most interested in – perhaps unsurprisingly given its size and author diversity, our Research Culture ’24 issue made the biggest splash here.
While were also of interest, what was quite exciting was for the first time we’ve been able to isolate some demographic information on our readership. With our , it was possible to see which countries around the world send readers our way. While the UK topped the list of 155 different countries, even in the top 10 we publicly shared there were some surprising appearances.
Open Manuscript Submissions Reminder
While we’re working away on multiple special issues, this is a reminder we are keen to consider articles from authors old and new on any topic, at any time. Exchanges operates an open-door policy for submissions from any discipline or topic, with the proviso that it is written with a broad, academic audience in mind. As an interdisciplinary journal we are particularly happy to consider papers including implicit or explicit interdisciplinary research, practice or thought – but this is not a prerequisite. We also like to champion early career authors, but similarly welcome and often publish submissions from experienced researchers too from around the world.

Or contact the Editor-in-Chief (Dr Gareth J Johnson, gareth.johnson@warwick.ac.uk) to discuss any potential submissions.
