Description: Facilitated by Pamela Karimi

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.

This event is open to UMassD faculty participants. To register, please email Ellen Mandly at emandly@umassd.edu. In-person participation will be limited to the first 10 registrants; virtual participation is available to anyone.
