"Bodies of Knowledge: Historical Perspectives on Race, Gender, and Biological Determinism"
A talk by Kathleen Fitzpatrick, Professor of Media Studies, Ponoma College and Director of Scholarly Communication, Modern Language Association. What if the academic monograph is a dying form? If scholarly communication is to have a future, it's clear that it lies online, and yet the most significant obstacles to such a transformation are not technological, but instead social and institutional. How must the academy and the scholars that comprise it change their ways of thinking in order for digital scholarly publishing to become a viable alternative to the university press book? This talk will explore some of those changes and their implications for our lives as scholars and our work within universities.
The Department of Hispanic Studies will have guest speaker Dr. John (Jay) Allen give a presentation and talk on February 16, from 5 to 6 pm. Please find the flyer for this event here.
