Join Authors Alliance as we team up with the UC Davis to present a cross-disciplinary panel discussion on authorship in the digital age, with a focus on the specific goals and needs of academic authors. Authors who write to be read care about how their works are published and what that means for reader access. While traditional options and copyright arrangements still predominate in many fields, there are ever-increasing ways to share works of authorship. What works best to get textual and visual works out there and under what circumstances? Join us to explore the opportunities and challenges authors face in maximizing the reach of their work, both in and outside of academia.
Panelists include a range of UC faculty, independent authors, and legal experts:
- Mario Biagioli (UC Davis Law; Science & Technology Studies)
- Stephanie Boluk (UC Davis English)
- Jonathan Eisen (UC Davis Biology)
- Alexandra Lippman (UC Davis Science & Technology Studies)
- Rick Prelinger (UC Santa Cruz; Director of the Prelinger Archive)
- Kim Stanley Robinson (Author, The Mars Trilogy)
- Pam Samuelson (UC Berkeley Law; Authors Alliance)
- MacKenzie Smith (UC Davis Library)
- Madhavi Sunder (UC Davis Law)
