“<b>Academic Publication: A Roundtable Discussion</b>” on <b>Monday,
October 18</b>, 2010, in <b>Royce 306 </b>from <b>1:00-3:00 pm</b>.<br>
</font> <br>
<font face="Verdana" size=2>Academic publication can be a complicated
process. This session will address some of the practical considerations
involved in writing a monograph, a journal article, an article for an
edited collection, and other types of publications. It will also consider
how the various publication possibilities fit into the progress of an
academic career. The discussion will be moderated by Professor Scott
Kleinman (California State University, Northridge); graduate student
Katharine McLoone (PhD candidate, Comparative Literature, UCLA) will
serve as respondent.<br>
</font> <br>
<font face="Verdana" size=2>The participants and topics are:
<ul>
<li>Professor Cary Nederman (Texas A&M) - From dissertation to book
proposal, journal article, or article in an edited collection</font>
<li><font face="Verdana" size=2>Dr. Blair Sullivan (UCLA) - Publication
in an academic journal</font>
<li><font face="Verdana" size=2>Dr. Simon Forde (Brepols Publishers) -

</ul>General topics for discussion: University presses versus commercial
presses, and, more generally, the publication process in Europe versus
that in the US. Is there a bias among US universities in favor of
university presses? In the electronic age (the “blog” generation) is
“monograph-style” writing and publication becoming obsolete? What is the
role of academic promotion committees in this, particularly in the
Humanities and Social Sciences?<br>
