Save Ancient Studies Alliance (SASA) have been trialling our Let’s Get Published workshop since the start of this year, wherein we have invited specific partners from previous academic outreach events to speak about their academic research ideas and any progress they want to make on it. Due to their runaway success, we are now widening our intake - so please share this email with your network!
The forums have been fantastic. Creation of peer-led spaces has allowed the participants to present in an informal environment that they can use to get comfortable with presenting their research, and, more importantly, receive feedback from their peers. As not everyone has equal access to peer feedback due to the wide variety of backgrounds that they may have approached research from, these workshops have been an essential way to engage non-traditional academics and encourage them to share their ideas with the wider community.
Initial feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Participants have highlighted the benefit of having the opportunity to speak publicly on their research and the support of a peer community. SASA remains committed to reducing barriers to participation across the breadth of Ancient Studies - and to this end, we are now inviting any and all interested parties to join our Let’s Get Published workshop schedule throughout the year. At present, places are somewhat limited, so we encourage early registration to avoid disappointment.
