SUMMARY:UCLA Editor-in-Residence Public Events with Courtney Berger
DESCRIPTION:UCLA Editor-in-Residence Public Events with Courtney Berger\, Executive Editor\, Duke University Press\nRSVP for one or both events.\nHershey Salon 158 \nWednesday\, April 23\, 10:30 am-11:30 am: Talk\nTalk: Writing Books People Will Want to Read: Advice for First-Time Authors \nThursday\, April 24\, 4:00-5:45 pm: Panel\nPanel & Reception: Writing and Publishing as a Scholar-Activist \n\nTalk: Writing Books People Will Want to Read: Advice for First-Time Authors\nWe will discuss some of the most common issues that first-time authors face during the writing and publishing process. Berger will offer guidance on how to conceptualize a scholarly book project\, put together a book proposal\, and make the most of the peer review process. She will also offer strategies for finding the right publisher and working with an acquisitions editor. This will be an informal workshop designed to help first-time authors navigate the publication process and think about the purpose and reach of their writing. There will be plenty of time for discussion\, so please bring your questions!\n\n\nPanel & Reception: Writing and Publishing as a Scholar-Activist\nIn this conversation\, Courtney Berger (Executive Editor at Duke University Press) and members from the UCLA community—Colby Lenz\, Juan Herrera\, Kian Goh\, Lee Ann Wang—will discuss the challenges and rewards of writing as both scholar and activist. We will address a range of questions that scholar-activists navigate in their work and in their writing. What does it mean to be a scholar-activist and how does it change the kind of writing you do? How do you negotiate the competing demands of activism and the university? How do you write in a way that will reach both scholarly and non-scholarly audiences? And how do you maintain ethical relations with the communities you work with while doing scholarly work?\n\nAbout the Editor-in-Residence \nCourtney Berger (she/they) is Executive Editor at Duke University Press. She joined the Press in 2003\, after receiving her Ph.D. in English from Johns Hopkins University. Courtney acquires books across the humanities and social sciences\, including American studies\, Native American and Indigenous studies\, Asian American studies\, queer\, trans\, and gender studies\, media and technology\, and environmental humanities. Berger seeks out books that are theoretically and politically engaged and that speak to a wide\, interdisciplinary audience. They have published books by many prominent scholars\, but also enjoy collaborating with first-time authors who are in the process of establishing their critical voice. \nFriendly Reminder: Seating is on a first come\, first served basis. Due to the high percentage of no-shows\, we do overbook our events. Therefore\, a reservation does not guarantee a seat\, so we suggest you arrive early. We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. \nCosponsored By: \nCSW|Barbra Streisand Center \nUCLA Social Sciences \nUCLA Humanities \nUCLA Herb Alpert School of Music \nUCLA Bixby Center to Advance Sexual and Reproductive Health Equity
