Hi Folks,
I’m pleased to share the news that a new open-access book is available through the WAC Clearinghouse (https://wacclearinghouse.org). The book appears in the book series, International Exchanges on the Study of Writing, which is edited by Steven Fraiberg, Joan Mullin, Magnus Gustafsson, and Anna S. Habib.
Academic Publishing in a Fast-Changing World
Edited by Catalina Neculai, James N. Corcoran and Bojana Petrić
Advancing a complex narrative about global research production, Academic Publishing in a Fast-Changing World emphasizes the multi-dimensional nature of current debates and the folly of confining ourselves to disciplinary, theoretical, or methodological boundaries. Rather, the contributors to this edited collection embrace trans-, inter-, and multi-disciplinary approaches that enable us to make sense of, challenge, and change the nature of research communication. In so doing, they address macro-structural conditions and micro, granular experiences in ways that offer theoretical, methodological, ethical, and experiential insights into research, teaching, and research communication and make a strong argument for the value of engaging with English for Research and Publication Purposes (ERPP) as a trans/inter-disciplinary field.
You can find the book at https://wacclearinghouse.org/books/international/fast-changing/. This book, like other books published by the Clearinghouse, will be available in a print edition from University Press of Colorado in the coming months. Thanks to Catalina, James, and Bojana for their work on the book and for their decision to share it with us as an open-access publication. Thanks as well to the anonymous peer reviewers who contributed to its development. All the best,
