Date and time: Thursday, October 27, 4:30 – 6:00 p.m.

Location: 4TH SPACE, J.W. McConnell (Library) Building (LB-103)

Concordia University Press and 4th Space launch Engage in Public Scholarship! A Guidebook on Feminist and Accessible Communication with an event to celebrate Open Access Week. Dr Ketchum will be joined by Dr Natalie Kouri-Towe in a conversation about finding better ways to share knowledge and connect with public audiences through acts of public scholarship – whether this is through social media and online content, or through in-person events and exhibitions. They will also discuss how to make public scholarship accessible and inclusive for as many groups and ability types as possible by encouraging scholars to design with disability in mind and to publish work in open access formats. This event will be in-person as well as streamed live online. Engage is available in a free digital open-access edition, as well as in a print edition for sale.

Alex D. Ketchum is the faculty lecturer in the Institute of Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at McGill University.

Natalie Kouri-Towe is the program and practicum director of Interdisciplinary Studies in Sexuality at the Simone de Beauvoir Institute at Concordia University.
