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.

Invited Editors

Dana Leibsohn (Smith College, Colonial Latin American Review) 
Barbara Fuchs (UCLA, Renaissance Quarterly)
Jorge Tellez (University of Pennsylvania, Hispanic Review)
Anupama Rao (Barnard College, Comparative Studies in South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East)
 

Editorial Work in Humanities Journals
An afternoon of workshops 

The Whitney Publishing Project invites you to an afternoon of discussion, brainstorming, and collaborative thinking among editors of journals in the humanities. These two sessions are geared especially toward scholars at Yale who do any kind of editorial work in scholarly journals. 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.
