Join us for an informal panel on exciting developments in screen and sound research publishing
Sonic Screen Lab, London College of Communication, University of the Arts London
Wednesday 1 May 5.00-6.30pm Lecture Theatre B (LTB)
Academic publishing is rapidly changing from traditional print journals and books to multiple forms, sites and places to present research. This event explores these developments with a focus on practice-based screen and sound journals, open access research, and innovative publishing projects.
The event will address how these developments are challenging the way academic research is presented and published. This will include examining developments in practice-based research and journals; the politics of open access research; experimental book publishing; race and postcolonial digital publishing and new possibilities in knowledge exchange and university research.
The event is open to all UAL staff, students and external guests. Please reserve a place by booking via Eventbrite.
