Publishing in the Humanities

In academia, everyone has heard the adage, "Publish or perish." But how does one go about publication? The process is opaque, especially for graduate students, and departments do not always instruct emerging scholars in how publication works. This Deep Dive will provide practical tips and insights into publishing research in the humanities and interpretive social sciences. We will consider the role of conferences and networking, the question of co-authorship, varieties of academic journals and genres of scholarship, the peer review process, and the academic book proposal, among other topics. We will also consider some of the challenges facing editors and publishers and how aspiring scholars can adjust to these challenges. Students will gain an understanding of the academic publishing industry and of the various ways they can publish their research.
