Both Thome's and Chinn's papers challenge us to reflect on how we as editors facilitate the inclusion of all voices and perspectives to create a "global conversation." They challenge us to be open, intellectually and ethically unbiased, and inclusive. Thome's paper is a comprehensive and thoughtful review of practices by which editors might perpetuate the status quo in scholarly thought and create barriers to presentation of different and new voices and ideas. These barriers include language, editorial processes, the reviewers we choose, how we define scholarship, and biases towards unpopular ideas. She provokes and prods us to think about how we might inadvertently contribute to stifling new voices and new ways of thinking.
