Title and DateDescription
The Open Humanities Press
04/03/08
The Open Humanities Press [http://www.openhumanitiespress.org], an on-line publisher of contemporary critical and cultural theory, will
be launched next month. It is a bold and pioneering new initiative,
committed to open access and the free exchange of scholarly knowledge, formed in response to the growing inequality of readers' access to critical materials necessary for research in the humanities. It is a consortium of peer-reviewed open access journals in continental philosophy, cultural studies, new media, film and literary criticism.

Sigi Jottkandt speaks on "The Open Humanities Press: Free/Libre
Scholarship," and Gary Hall presents "Liquid Theory." Their talks
will touch on a short history of the Open Access movement, describe
how standard humanities publishing models are not meeting specific problems confronting the humanities (e.g. author-pays publishing models, repositories etc.), and introduce the OHP.
