The “publish or perish” slogan represents a constant pressure to survive in academia and to be considered a competent professional. This symposium will open conversation among researchers, editors and reviewers to address issues of diversity, ethics and politics in the publication process. We will facilitate discussions with colleagues around the world to explore biases in the scholarly publication process to uncover the mechanisms and practices responsible for the under­represen­tation of particular groups of researchers. The symposium will be a meeting point, to find and explore ways to address biases in the processes of peer review. We hope to contribute to the efforts to make the publishing process more transparent and accessible to researchers.

Based on the examination of Chilean and Swedish research, the symposium addresses the possi­bilities and challenges for researching diversity and inclusion in mathematics pre- and in-service teacher education. Departing form concrete localized research and its contextual, theoretical and methodological stances, larger reflections and implications for the education of mathematics teachers that may lead to an increased sensitivity towards students’ diversities and their impact in inclusion of students and change of educational experiences in mathematics are drawn.
