How can media—especially scholarly publishing—help shift our culture from domination to partnership? In this episode, Marty Lewis-Hunstiger and Liz Weinfurter share their experiences as editors of the Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studies, exploring how language, representation, and open access can challenge bias and amplify diverse voices.

From navigating cultural differences in translation, to pushing for equitable access to research, Marty and Liz discuss the complexities of applying partnership principles in systems built for domination. They offer concrete examples of small but powerful changes—such as multilingual publishing, inclusive editorial practices, and creating space for community voices—that move us toward media rooted in respect, equity, and connection.
