DESCRIPTION:In an era of benchmarking\, rankings and competition\, the lat
 est roles of academic journals have been changed by outside forces. Editor
 s often try to resist the pressures to play in the gatekeeping and certifi
 cation game. Can they resist? Are there viable counter-currents in which s
 uch concepts as “intellectual life” and “pursuit of knowledge” and
  “scholarship as a vocation” do not arouse bemusement? Come to find ou
 t from each other and tell the editor of the Comparative Education Review 
 on 12th July. \n\n*All welcome*
