This book is also about being heard. The call for contributions was therefore open to people at any career level, based within any organization, and not restricted to academics. We took a crowdsourced approach to generate a book of blogs with the aim of breaking through some of the boundaries set by traditional publishing formats. Therefore posts have not been peer-reviewed in the traditional way and only ‘light touch’ editing has taken place to ensure that individual voices remain as unfiltered as possible.
