12:30 - 1:30 pm, Library 213
Facilitator: Pamela Karimi, Associate Professor of Art History
Monographs are central to shaping and sharing scholarship in the humanities and many social science fields. In this talk Associate Professor Pamela Karimi (Art History, CVPA) will reflect on her recent experience of publishing with Stanford University Press. She will address different methods of overcoming the challenges of conducting research from scratch, including traveling to distant archives and engaging in on-site ethnographic work. Karimi will also reflect on potential strategies to make the writing process more tractable, despite heavy teaching loads. Finally, she will discuss multiple ways of approaching academic book editors and securing contracts with university presses.
The workshop will be conducted in a hybrid modality. To register, please contact Ellen Mandly at emandly@umassd.edu. Please indicate your preference for in-person or virtual participation when registering. Individually wrapped lunches, which can be enjoyed during the workshop or taken "to go," will be provided for in-person participants.
