| Summary: | The journal Practical Theology piloted in 2021 a Buddy System to support authors who are writing in English as their second, third, or fourth academic language. Following 2 years of work and development, the Buddy System represents a strategic intervention in the field of Practical Theology that pursues three interrelated objectives: (1) to support research from authors who are working and writing beyond the anglophone world; (2) to expand pathways to publishing for majority world authors in Practical Theology; and (3) to expand the form(s) of epistemology that shape the content and readership of Practical Theology. The Buddy System pairs potential authors with a ‘Buddy’ who supports them in preparing a manuscript for submission and peer review. Following 2 years of development and learning, three people who were involved in the launch of the Buddy System participated in a conversation about the history, purpose, and consequence of this approach to knowledge, collaborative inquiry, and the craft of language. This article is an edited transcript of an interview the Practical Theology Editor, Dustin Benac, conducted with Calida Chu and Alison Le Cornu. |
