Publishing in the Public Humanities

Add to:

How do you publish on a co-creative community collaboration, a scholarly podcast, or a multimedia project that respects Indigenous protocols? How do you co-publish with a non-university community partner? What does peer review look like for publicly engaged scholarship?

For this panel and mini workshop event, we’ve invited three editors representing different university presses in Canada and the U.S. to present on publication opportunities for publicly engaged work. Following the panel, editors will host individual breakout sessions with a smaller cohort of registrants for a more focused discussion session. Registrants who are staying for the mini workshop, please come prepared to discuss a potential project (either existing or imagined)! You will be asked to select a workshop group during registration. 

This event is part of our Public Scholarship Series and is especially aimed at scholars working in the humanities though other fields are welcome! Junior faculty and graduate students are particularly encouraged to attend.

  • Bonus material: The National Humanities Alliance and Routledge, Taylor & Francis convened a working group in February 2020 to build out recommendations for public humanities publication. Read their final report here.
