The Comparative Studies in Society and History (CSSH) journal is pleased to invite you to an Informational Session on Academic Publishing in peer-reviewed journals on Friday, November 7, 2025, from 3:00 - 4:30 p.m., in 411 West Hall.

Professor Jatin Dua (CSSH editor), Dr. David Akin (former CSSH managing editor for 25 years), and Professor Alyssa Paredes (recent CSSH author) will lead the session and share advice on how to successfully publish your research in academic journals in the humanities and social sciences. The session will introduce graduate students to the publication process from submission to acceptance, and provide an overview of how to plan your journal article, what gets published and why, and common mistakes that get an article rejected.

We invite students to submit questions in advance about the publishing process, and will also leave time for Q&A during the session. You may submit your questions through the Google form by November 6.
