We are well over a decade into the prominence of academic blogging in knowledge dissemination and democratization, and yet our institutions continue to not recognize this labour financially or in regards to promotion and hiring practices, leading these important publications to serve as symbols of academic precarity and inflexibility.

I have a short new article out in the Practitioner's Forum of the Sustainable Publishing special issue of Imaginations: Journal of Cross-Cultural Image Studies, "Reimagining Academic Publishing: Community, Knowledge, & the Future Beyond Academia"
