The English language, specifically through the Western influence, has dominated the academic community, its resources, creations and outlets. The management field and organization studies are far from being immune to this condition. This situation presents additional challenges to non-native Anglophone scholars and PhD students who struggle in a highly competitive and demanding setting. Such epistemic exclusion represents not only a simple linguistic hierarchy but a sociocultural supremacy that inevitably leads to marginalization and segregation. By recognizing the increasingly diverse academic landscape, this workshop aims to shed light on the narratives, challenges, and successes of individuals who have navigated the intricacies of academia as non-native English speakers. Through this workshop, we hope to create a global community and foster innovations to create a more inclusive academic environment.
