How HSS Scholarly Publishing Supports Social Justice: Future Formats and Emerging Topics
In the final episode of this four-part series, Felicity Plester, Editorial Director for Humanities, and Tamsine O’Riordan, Editorial Director for Social Science, both at Palgrave Macmillan, discuss the publisher’s future formats and emerging topics in the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS). They reflect on the power of e-resources in publishing and scholarly dissemination, in addition to flexible access strategies like single title models and artificial intelligence innovations. Felicity also touches on how popular culture factors into acquisition decisions and the balance between staying current and ensuring longevity in a subject. Next, Tamsine shares her thoughts on emerging topics in social justice and sustainability and how today’s readers want to access knowledge—whether through e-content, hybrid formats, or print. Last, Felicity plugs the upcoming Palgrave Macmillan Annual Lecture Series on September 21st, which will focus on how HSS contributes to the peace agenda.
