An Intellectual Sense of Purpose: Inter-Disciplinarity, Collaboration, and the Futures of Academic Publishing

featuring
Richard Morrison, Ediorial Director,
Fordham University Press

This talk will address some of the practical challenges as well as shared points of interest and potential collaboration between knowledge producers in the Humanities and Social Sciences. In an era of shifting resources and rapidly changing technologies, the need for publishers and scholars to find common cause has perhaps never been greater.

Richard Morrison will also be available by appointment to meet with individual faculty from 12-3. For information contact Julia Lupton, jrlupton@uci.edu.
