I presented on two panels for postgraduates on academic publishing for the Asian Studies Association of Australia.
Panel 1
From PhD to Book. Recent experiences in the publishing industry
Tuesday 24 November 2020, 3:00pm-4:30pm (AEST)

Not all publishing houses are built equally for Asian research. Where should the newly-minted PhD graduate publish their dissertations? How do we write a compelling book publishing proposal? What are the qualities publishers expect to see in the works of would-be-authors in Asian studies? We pose these questions to scholars working in academic book publishing and with personal publishing experience about adapting your PhD thesis into a book and presenting your work to publishing houses.
Moderator: Ms. Carman K. M. Fung (ASAA2020 Postgraduate Representative, PhD candidate in Screen and Cultural Studies, University of Melbourne)
Speakers:
Dr. Nathan Hollier (CEO, Melbourne University Publishing)
Dr. Kevin Carrico (Senior Lecturer in Chinese Studies, Monash University)
Dr. Sophie Chao (Postdoctoral Research Associate at the School of Philosophical and Historical Inquiry, University of Sydney)
Dr. Benjamin Hegarty (Mckenzie Postdoctoral Fellow in Anthropology at the School of Social and Political Sciences, University of Melbourne)
Panel 2
Photographs and image rights in the publishing world
Wednesday 25 November 2020, 3:00pm-4:30pm (AEST)

Can you use images that you take from an archive? How about an informant who wishes to remain anonymous? What are the ethics of printing photographs from a politically unstable area? Does it matter if the images or photographs in question are produced or taken by the researcher? And when is it appropriate to request for your readers to locate the images on their own? This panel will provide tips from scholars from both visual and non-visual disciplines on how to prepare the images we collect, photograph and personally archive for possible publishing in the future.
