Scholars and Editors on Social Media
Communities of scholars and editors have always been essential to the work of university presses. Today these communities often form and find each other via social media. Editors and scholars gathered in an Art of Acquisitions Hangout to discuss this, including:
- Gregory Britton, Editorial Director, John Hopkins University Press
- Elizabeth Demers, Senior Editor, Johns Hopkins University Press
- Gita Manaktala, Editorial Director, MIT Press
- Patricia Matthew, Associate Professor of English, Montclair State University
