Workshop on Publishing in the Arts and Humanities

This workshop addresses questions postgraduate, post-doctorate, and junior researchers in the arts and humanities may have concerning the publication of their scholarship in peer-reviewed, professional, trade, popular, and other venues.

Professor Lordanova will introduce the various publication outlets open to academics and the relative impact these have within and outside specific disciplines. She explores traditional outlets as well as other means of disseminating research including blogs, online news-letters, video essays, and other less orthodox avenues. Participants are invited to bring their own publication problems and queries for discussion within the context of an informal conversation on “publish or perish” in the digital age.
