This event is organized in partnership with the Department of Religious Studies at the University. We encourage PhD students in humanities disciplines to attend.

With decades of experience as a journal co-editor and countless journal articles of his own, Dr. Goff will share his expertise both on the process of getting published in academic journals and on the work of editing them.
