How can scholars and nonfiction authors write for broader audiences while
maintaining intellectual rigor and developing their academic profiles?
This NEH institute is designed for academics and writers who seek to write
and publish for broad audiences, particularly about contemporary
technology, everyday objects, and digital culture. The institute’s
workshops—geared to scholars as well as nonfiction writers from across
disciplines—aim to better equip participants to pitch their ideas and
publish their writing in venues that exist fruitfully between both
traditional academic and trade publishing routes.
The workshops are hosted by Dr. Ian Bogost and Dr. Christopher Schaberg,
founding editors of the Object Lessons essay
(http://objectsobjectsobjects.com/essays/) and book
(http://www.bloomsbury.com/superpage/objectlessons/) series published by
The Atlantic and Bloomsbury. Bogost and Schaberg—along with guest authors,
editors, and publishers—will help participants navigate the new frontiers
of academic publishing and increasing pressures on the academy to make its
work legible to broad audiences.
There will be four venues around the country. To apply to any of the
workshops, please see the workshop website
(http://objectsobjectsobjects.com/workshop/).
