Free Word Hall

The first of two roundtable events for literature organisations and all those interested in the future of the word. 

An invited audience will discuss where academic publishing is today and to what extent it is in crisis.  We will ask: What is the impact of the publishing process on the academic author?  To what extent do publishing platforms dictate research priorities? What role should publishing play in unlocking academic knowledge? Is internet-enabled accessibility something to be celebrated or guarded against?
