At Risk? The Humanities and the Future of Academic
Publishing
Sarah Kember
‘the system that supports humanistic knowledge itself is at risk’
A Day in the Life of Janet Smart
iMedia. The Gendering of Objects, Environments and Smart Materials(Palgrave, forthcoming)
performance, openness, transparency, efficiency, accountability
The discourses, practices and techniques of finance – audits, metrics, citation indexes and so on – are said to govern academic life, but what of gender
and other differentials in this govern/ability?
There are no quick, or tech-only solutions to problems in academic publishing that, for me, are not ‘from’ – ‘to’ crises but entrenchments and extensions of instrumentalization, masculinization and marketization.
The do-it-all scholar-entrepreneur actually has very few options for communication if the place they are coming from is the research monograph/article and the place they are going to is the TED talk.
