You are warmly invited by Coventry's Disruptive Media Learning Lab
(DMLL) to join us for the Open Access in the Humanities publishing
roadshow’s appearance at Coventry University this November. The DMLL is
hosting and has helped organise the event, which is part of a larger
series of Open Access in the Humanities Roadshow events put together by
SPARCEurope and Alma Swan and made possible through funding from the
Open Society Foundations:

With Open Access now firmly on the agenda of HEFCE and RCUK in the lead
up to REF2020, this is an ideal opportunity to learn more about Open
Access publishing with several publishers and facilitators coming to the
event.
All academics/practitioners/researchers working in arts and humanities
fields are invited to come along and meet their publisher colleagues in
an informal tell-and-show session. You will be able to see what their
publishing programmes cover and learn about the experiences of authors
who have published in Open Access outlets.
There will be short presentations from Prof. Gary Hall (Open Humanities
Press, and Coventry University Centre for Disruptive Media) SPARC Europe
UK Roadshow programme colour , Dr Rupert Gatti (Open Book Publishers,
and Faculty of Economics, University of Cambridge), SPARC Europe UK
Roadshow programme colour and Jonathan Shaw (School of Art & Design,
Coventry University), with the opportunity to speak with them to find
out more about the implications and practicalities of open access
publishing.
