The first day of the #APSA2024 exhibit hall sure was exciting. It was great to meet with Melissa Deckman (THE POLITICS OF GEN Z), Rongbin Han (CONTESTING CYBERSPACE IN CHINA), Nicholas Tampio (DEMOCRACY AND EDUCATION), and Martin Williams (IMPLEMENTING CIVIL SERVICE REFORM-not yet in production).

So you've just gotten your book contract, but how do you make sense of the copyright clauses? Stephanie Vyce of Harvard University Press recommends looking for two key words: assignment and license. Take a look at her #FeedingTheElephant post to learn more. networks.h-net.org/group/discus...

another 🔥 thread from @byjennytan.bsky.social
there are many reasons why t/tt scholars fail to recognize their monograph pubs as part of the work they are employed (and thus paid, however inadequately) to do, but a big one is that unlike nearly all other forms of wage work, YOU are the primary beneficiary of that labor

Excited—& a bit nervous—to have this essay in the world. It started as an MLA talk—which I described at the time as the political unconscious of the usual How To Publish Your Book fare—& became much more thanks to the wonderful team at Public Books. Solidarity!
