>
>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.
>
>The participants and topics are:
>    * Professor Cary Nederman (Texas A&M) - From dissertation to 
> book proposal, journal article, or article in an edited collection
>    * Dr. Blair Sullivan (UCLA) - Publication in an academic journal
>    * Dr. Simon Forde (Brepols Publishers) - Book publication with 
> an academic publisher (review process, contract-signing, pre-press, 
> post-printing

> rights: books and journal article copyright; the "Google Books 
> Settlement Agreement"; who has the right to copyright ancient and 
> medieval texts
>    * Professor Patrick Geary (UCLA) - Online publication (journal 
> articles, encyclopedia articles, etc.) in the Humanities and Social Sciences
>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?
>

>sheet at the door. No fee. Seating is limited, available on a
