This four-hour workshop is for graduate students looking for new tools to help get, or keep, their thesis on track.
With the arrival of the internet came the promise of a faster, cheaper, and more democratic method of disseminating scholarly research. Almost 20 years later, the scholarly publishing ecosystem is largely dominated by the same small group of publishers and many are still struggling to make their work available to a general audience. Join Stephanie Savage to discuss the current realities of academic publishing, what the future might hold, and how you, as scholars and authors, fit into a system of diverse stakeholders and competing interests.
People today report feeling increasingly pressed for time, undermining health and happiness. In this talk, I will outline the strategies that individuals, organizations, and policy makers can employ to combat rising feelings of time scarcity.
