ICLAST lunch workshop for faculty, staff, and students with Professor Ian Bogost (DM/LMC)
There has never been a better time for scholars to publish in general-readership venues like magazines, newspapers, and websites. But the process of pitching, writing, editing is different from scholarly work. In addition, there are academic career-related issues to consider when pursuing placement in popular venues. Learn the basics of this process, including some of the pitfalls, from IAC/LMC professor Ian Bogost, who is also a contributing editor at The Atlantic.
