Rapid changes in the academic publishing industry mean that many emerging scholars face unknown terrain when it comes to publishing their first book. On April 1, a panel of experts will come together to demystify the process and provide new insights for new and established scholars alike. Sponsored by the Ansari Institute for Global Engagement with Religion, the Graduate School, and the Notre Dame Institute for Advanced Study, “Academic Publishing Today: A Conversation” will offer an inside look at today’s publishing industry for scholars in the Social Sciences and Humanities, particularly those planning to turn their dissertation into a book.
Special guest Jennifer Banks, Executive Editor for Religion, Classics, Philosophy, Literature, and Psychology at Yale University Press, will join two representatives from the University of Notre Dame Press—Editor in Chief Eli Bortz and Assistant Acquisitions Editor Jennifer Kolesari—for a conversation moderated by Thomas Tweed, Director of the Anasari Institute for Global Engagement with Religion. Panelists will discuss topics including the shifting landscape of the academic publishing industry, changes in academia more broadly, and advice for emerging scholars. There will also be ample time for questions from audience members.
Please RSVP to ansari.nd.edu/publishingpanel.
Lunch will be provided starting at 12:15, with the panel to begin at 12:30.
