Virtual Event
The landscape of research, teaching, and publishing continues to change for humanities scholars. The past two years have brought welcome, but often challenging, reassessments of practices, priorities, and goals across higher education. Whatever position a scholar might hold--within or adjacent to the professoriate--understanding publishing goals and how to achieve them is crucial. Mary Francis, Director, University of Pennsylvania Press, will discuss the publishing process, reflect on how publishing is (and is not) changing, and take questions about the state of scholarly communication today.
Registration is closed. Please email bakernord@case.edu if you would like to attend.
