Michael Elliot
On Thursday, December 1, 2016 at 12 p.m. in the Digital Scholarship Lab at the Rockefeller Library, Michael Elliott will give a talk entitled, “Open Access and the Future of the Monograph in the Humanities.” A reception will follow the talk. This event is free and open to the public.
The landscape of monograph publication in the humanities is changing, with university and academic presses offering new possibilities for publishing digital, open access monographs. This talk will describe these changes, the kind of faculty support that they will require, as well as the implications for how universities fund research in the humanities. With Brown University, Emory University is participating in an initiative sponsored jointly by the ARL, AAU, and AAUP to support and facilitate this new model of long-form publication in the humanities, and this talk will also discuss how Emory has been facilitating this initiative among the faculty.
Michael A. Elliott is Professor of English and Interim Dean of Emory College of Arts and Sciences at Emory University. A specialist in American literature and culture, he is the author of two books and the co-editor of two others, and he is a member of the editorial board of The Norton Anthology of American Literature. He is also the principal investigator on a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Landscape on “The Changing Landscape of Publication in the Humanities.”
This talk is a part of the Library’s ongoing series, The Future of Scholarly Publishing, which presents perspectives from scholars, publishers, and experts in the field of digital scholarship.
