PROGRAMME
Friday 27 August 2021, 1430 –1730 CEST (BST + 1hour)
Workshop 1 – Postgraduate students and Early Career Researchers
Maximum 20 participants
Participating Editors: Priscila Farias, Daniel J Huppatz, Sarah Lichtman, Claire O’Mahony, John Potvin.
Aimed at postgraduate students and early career researchers in design history, design studies and related fields, this practical workshop will introduce attendees to how peer-review processes and writing abstracts fit into the wider contexts of academic publishing. Participants will have the opportunity to develop their skills and understanding, regarding how to write a good abstract. They will also receive advice from Editors of the Journal of Design History about how to prepare written work successfully for submission to peer-reviewed publications and what to expect from the editorial process. Early booking is recommended because numbers are strictly limited. English language will be used in this workshop. Speakers of all languages are welcome.
1430–1550 Writing Abstracts for publication
1550–1610 Virtual coffee break
1610–1730 Writing for peer-reviewed publications.
Each of the two sessions will include an introductory talk and practical small group discussions in breakout rooms. One week before the workshop, an abstract and article accepted for publication by the Journal of Design History will be sent out to participants, as a case study to read before the session. You can register for a place by booking on Eventbrite by 17 August 2021. When registering, participants are encouraged to submit an abstract that they have written in the English language, so they can get feedback on it during the workshop. Abstracts should be emailed to the DHS Administrator at designhistorysociety@gmail.com by 17 August 2021.
Tuesday 31 August 2021, 1830–1950 CEST (BST + 1hour)
