Abstract
In this talk, I will discuss the paper "Scholarly Solidarity: Building an Inclusive Field for Junior and Minority Researchers," which discusses challenges to and strategies for building scholarly solidarity. In this talk, I will discuss the emic approach I took for writing this manuscript, my hopes for the future of (political) communication research, and suggestions for building a stronger academic community that can facilitate solidaristic efforts and collective action.
