Please register for either or both of the two sessions (lunch is served in the 12:15 pm session); to encourage conversation and exchange, registration will be limited to 25. These two closed sessions will be followed by a 4:00 pm open roundtable geared toward graduate students and early-career scholars.

Public Roundtable – Publishing in Interdisciplinary Humanities Journals
Join four editors of scholarly journals for advice, encouragement, discussions of the future of scholarly publishing, behind-the-scenes insights, and more. During this roundtable discussion, you will gain insight and tips about publishing in scholarly journals—from selecting the journal, to submission, to navigating peer review, to making sense of reader reports, to knowing your options for copyright. We especially welcome graduate students and postdoctoral fellows in the humanities.
