Have you registered yet for our next Public Scholarship panel on Publishing in the Public Humanities? It will have a humanities focus, but the topics covered will also be relevant to scholars in other fields. Please join us!
How do you publish on a co-creative community collaboration, a scholarly podcast, or a multimedia project that respects Indigenous protocols? How do you co-publish with a non-university community partner? What does peer review look like for publicly engaged scholarship?
For this panel and mini workshop event, we’ve invited three editors representing different university presses in Canada and the U.S. to present on publication opportunities for publicly engaged work. Following the panel, editors will host individual breakout sessions with a smaller cohort of registrants for a more focused discussion session.
Panelists:
- Darcy Cullen, Founder of RavenSpace Publishing & Assistant Director, Acquisitions at UBC Press
-Teresa Mangum, Director of the Obermann Center for Advanced Studies & Co-Editor of the Humanities and Public Life Book Series at University of Iowa Press
-Siobhan McMenemy, Co-Director of the Amplify Podcast Network & Senior Editor at Wilfrid Laurier University Press
-Paige Raibmon (Moderator), Professor, UBC Department of History & Editor, BC Studies

On the feed today is one from University of Iowa Press! 'Khabaar' is a food memoir and personal narrative that braids the global journeys of South Asian food through immigration, migration, and indenture.
Focusing on chefs, home cooks, and food stall owners, the book questions what it means to belong and what does belonging in a new place look like in the foods carried over from the old country.

"The collection, read one way, is about growing up under the influence of stories and songs. But it’s also about how all of us bring to bear, in adulthood, the art and ideas we were exposed to as kids, about the way we use those things to help us get our bearings."

Our Book of the Day is "Fretwork" by Michele Glazer (University of Iowa Press). Of Michele Glazer's extraordinary new poetry collection, Mary Szybist writes, "In 'Fretwork' [Glazer] is at her most personal, most grief-stricken, most original, and most spare ... Silence is both her tool and her subject, what she cuts with and through in order to remain attentive. Each hard-won moment is part of the push and pull of a mind alert and flexible enough to move and leap and recalibrate as it needs to. This is superb writing, always precise, unpredictable, authentic to its searching, unnervingly alive. I love this book for all the ways in which it remains gobsmackingly present to real bewilderment, while inhabiting a receptivity continually reoriented by care." If you’re in the mood for a collection of "devastating, funny, unsettling, and radiant" poems (Joanna Klink), stop by the store or call us on 512-322-2097.
We miss Chuy Renteria's presence on the Hancher staff every day even as we continue to deeply admire his work for the UI's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion team. (We know our friends in the University of Iowa Department of Dance are proud of him, too!)
His memoir, We Heard It When We Were Young, is an important look at Iowa from a perspective that is not always centered when people think about the State of Iowa. Through a collaboration with University of Iowa Libraries, the audio version of the book (published by University of Iowa Press) is available to everyone at no cost.
We're biased, but we think it is exceptional work.
Join us here at the Co-op Friday, 12/2 at 6pm for a conversation with Joseph G. Peterson on "Memorandum from the Iowa Cloud Appreciation Society" (from University of Iowa Press). He will be joined in conversation by Giano Cromley.
