Academic Publishing in Trying Times: A Conversation with Elizabeth Ault, Senior Editor at Duke University Press
Hosted by Gender+ Justice Initiative, Office of the Provost and Office of Scholarly Publications
Join us for an insightful conversation with Elizabeth Ault, Senior Editor at Duke University Press, as she shares her expertise on navigating the evolving landscape of academic publishing. This event offers a unique opportunity for faculty, postdocs, scholars and graduate students, to learn about current challenges and possibilities in scholarly publishing, gain practical advice on manuscript development, and ask questions about the submission and review process.
About the speaker:
Elizabeth Ault joined Duke Press after receiving her Ph.D. in American Studies at the University of Minnesota. Trained in an interdisciplinary field, she is most interested in projects that reach outward across disciplines and academic conversations in surprising ways (including work by activists and organizers), that connect historical and emerging conditions, and that are committed to engaging with race, gender, sexuality, and (dis)ability. You can find Elizabeth at conferences including American studies, women’s studies, African studies, sociology, and geography, working with scholars in trans studies, disability studies, critical ethnic studies, Black geographies, witch studies, and more. She works with the editors of several book series, including Practices, Black Feminism on the Edge, ASTERISK, Theory in Forms, and Camera Obscura.
