學術出版工作坊

對於許多研究者而言，如何將研究轉化為國際學界的出版成果——從選擇期刊與出版社、精準定位與傳達研究貢獻，到如何避免常見的錯誤——往往涉及許多未被明說的隱藏知識。

「接軌世界的臺灣人類學：人才培育暨研究寫作」邀請人類學家 Niko Besnier 帶領兩場寫作工作坊。Besnier 教授曾任人類學期刊 American Ethnologist 主編，擁有豐富的英文專書出版與期刊編輯經驗。本系列工作坊將聚焦於學術書籍計畫與期刊論文兩種寫作形式，透過具體且實務的指引，協助研究者釐清與掌握學術研究出版的重重關卡。

本系列工作坊將以英文進行，無論是正在規劃專書、準備投稿，或希望更深入理解國際學術出版如何運作的研究者，都誠摯歡迎報名參加！

This two-day workshop series focuses on academic publishing, with sessions dedicated to two key forms of scholarly writing: book proposals and journal articles. The sessions will be facilitated by anthropologist Niko Besnier, former editor of American Ethnologist. Participants will gain practical guidance on developing, positioning, and submitting their work to international academic presses and journals. All sessions will be conducted in English.

Workshop Schedule and Details

Book Proposal Writing Workshop

Acquisition editors at academic presses receive many book proposals from authors and arrive at decisions of whether to pursue book projects on the basis of a very quick reading of these proposals. Thus writing a compelling proposal is pivotal to getting one’s book published. In this hands-on workshop, we will work on authors’ social science proposal drafts in a collegial and supportive atmosphere to help each other approach acquisition editors in the most effective way.

| Date: March 14 (Sat), 9:00–16:00

| Registration deadline: Feb 12

| Location: Humanities Building B106, National Taiwan University

| Additional requirement: Participants must submit a draft book proposal by March 1, which will be used as working material during the workshop.

Journal Article Writing Workshop

Submitting article manuscripts to major journals is a process shrouded in mystery, which early-career scholars find daunting, particularly given the language and epistemological hegemony of English. This workshop aims to dispel some of this mystery. It focuses on how to choose an appropriate international journal for one’s work, how to develop an abstract, and how to avoid common pitfalls in motivating one’s work and presenting its contribution to broad anthropological questions.

| Date: March 15 (Sun), 9:00–12:00

| Registration deadline: Feb 26

| Location: Humanities Building B106, National Taiwan University
