Abstract: When it was first published in 1946, International Journal aimed to “contribute in a substantial way to the knowledge of Canadians on problems of international relations and [to] express to other countries the Canadian viewpoint on international questions,” so stated by Canadian Institute of International Affairs President R.M. Fowler. Nearly eighty years later with almost 320 issues published, this roundtable will debate what Fowler's dictum means today as we look to IJ’s future and its future readers. IJ’s editors-in-chief, past and present members of the editorial board, and both early career and more experienced scholars and practitioners will consider potential thematic areas of focus for IJ, how IJ can best connect with our readers, and what it means for IJ to be a distinctly Canadian journal, among other topics. Featuring multi-sectoral experts on global politics at various career stages, the conversation will also consider how academics and policymakers might better collaborate and communicate in IJ's pages. The roundtable will welcome student participation to discuss how IJ can continue to remain relevant to future specialists in Canada in/and the world and support a diversity of students and early career researchers to submit their manuscripts and publication ideas.
