PubliSHE

Amplifying women's research voices through publishing support, research collaboration, and capacity-building for early-career researchers.

PubliSHE is a capacity-building project designed to empower women early-career researchers in Jordan and enhance their academic publishing opportunities on an international level.

Implemented through blended training workshops in partnership between Middle East University in Jordan and London South Bank University in the United Kingdom, and funded by the British Academy, PubliSHE strengthens research, writing, and digital skills while supporting publication in high-impact international journals.

Despite high levels of female participation in higher education in Jordan, women remain underrepresented in academic leadership and publishing. PubliSHE addresses this gap by fostering equitable academic collaboration across the Global North and South.
