HDR/ECR Workshop: Scholarly publishing in the Social Sciences
- This event has passed.
For Social Sciences Week 2024, Visiting Research Fellow Kirsten Bell (Imperial College London) and Professor Lisa L. Wynn (Associate Editor of the journal American Ethnologist) will host a publishing workshop discussing changes afoot in the publishing arena, including a discussion of the effects of open access initiatives, combined with practical advice on getting published. This is an excellent opportunity to learn about trends in the academic publishing space and to ask questions about publishing your own work.
Bell is a former journal editor (of Critical Public Health) and Wynn is a current journal editor (an associate editor of American Ethnologist). In addition to her experience as a journal editor, Bell has published three columns in the former Chronicle of Higher Education blog, ‘Vitae’, providing tips on getting published. She also holds a Master of Publishing from Simon Fraser University, is a former member of the Executive Committee of Libraria, a collective of social scientists exploring new models of publishing that supported Berghahn and Pluto to move their stable of journals open access under a ‘subscribe to open’ model, and has helped the editorial team and board of Critical Public Health to leave their owner and publisher, Taylor & Francis, and move to a diamond open access journal.
