This looks like an amazing issue of Imaginations: Journal of Cross-Cultural Image Studies on Sustainable Publishing: imaginationsjournal.ca/index.php/im... Lots of overlap too with our recent @jepub.bsky.social issue on Publishing and Climate Justice: journals.publishing.umich.edu/jep/issue/38...

I'm sharing this brief essay—on modes and mediums in scholarly publishing—just published in @jepub.bsky.social 30th anniversary issue. It's a worlds-colliding piece for me, media studies meets academic publishing journals.publishing.umich.edu...

Finally, Jeff Pooley @jpooley.bsky.social considers the predominance of textuality in scholarly communication; a reality reflected in JEP’s own historical corpus, which is primarily (although not exclusively!) text based: doi.org/10.3998/jep.... [5/5]

John Maxwell telescopes into the Books and Browsers moment, an era that JEP engaged by publishing proceedings from that conference: doi.org/10.3998/jep.... [4/5]

Chérifa Boukacem-Zeghmouri @c-bz.bsky.social provides a historical reflection on JEP’s trajectory over the past few decades, and the ways in which her own work has intersected with the journal’s over time:

The issue includes the following contributions: [4/n]

The contributions to this issue all share a desire to further the dialogue about climate (in)justice in scholarly publishing.

Printed a tl;dr letterpress summary of my @jepub.bsky.social piece: "[Academic] Rigor's bullshit & you know it". Planned a print w/more explanatory text but will be post-Vandercook access so did this for now. www.amandavisconti.com/2025/01/18/o... cc @walshbr.bsky.social: I made some for next Praxis

This new issue of @jepub.bsky.social is out, and its first article is from @literaturegeek.bsky.social: 'Organized Futures: Speculative Design for More Just and Joyful Scholarly Infrastructure'. I recommend @jepub.bsky.social as a place to organize Just and Joyful collaboration in the future.
