Speaker: Dr. Emily Farrell, Walter de Gruyter, Inc., Boston

The traditional path from the PhD is directly into an academic position. While an academic career remains, for most, the desired next step following a doctoral degree, there can be various reasons to look at other pathways. A career in academic publishing is one possible professional direction after a PhD. In this workshop, I will discuss some of the roles available in publishing and the steps towards pursuing such a career.
 
Dr. Emily Farrell has worked as both an acquisitions editor and a library sales manager for the publisher De Gruyter. She received her PhD in Linguistics from Macquarie University in 2009 under the supervision of Ingrid Piller. During her doctoral work she was a visiting student at Temple University with Aneta Pavlenko.
