News and Updates Why Poetry? Dartmoor inspires a pandemic project Dartmoor Links, November 2020 
Redux Online Webinar: An Altered Landscape: The Impact of COVID-19 on University Presses 20 October 2020 https://www.cambridge.org/engage/coe/article-details/5f875ac2bf257d00183e5cf6 Just published: a white paper on the future of scholarly communications https://commonplace.knowledgefutures.org/pub/rqaoavw9/release/1 
"Writing out of Turn" Just published in Transmissions. Critical Tactics for Making and Communicating Research (ed Kay Jungnickel, The MIT Press 2020) Poetry and Fiction Goldsmiths Press is commissioning poetry and short fiction that reflects on the current pandemic from the perspective of social, economic and environmental justice. We are inviting our authors to write something new or propose a piece of their existing work that might be relevant. If selected, we will publish this open access (free of charge, and for all to read) on our website and on MIT's platform, PubPub. We feel that poetry and short fiction are important ways in which to respond, rethink and rebuild in times of uncertainty. If you have an idea to put forward, please send us a short outline. We would love to hear from you and please do pass this invitation on to any other academic colleagues you think may be interested in contributing Contact Ellen Parnavelas e.parnavelas@gold.ac.uk Sarah Kember s.kember@gold.ac.uk Guy Sewell g.sewell@gold.ac.uk Blogs and Opinion Pieces Goldsmiths Press is commissioning blogs, opinion pieces, essays and speculative writing from UK and international scholars that reflect on the current pandemic from the perspective of social, economic and environmental justice. In addition to analyses of our present situation, we encourage authors to engage with and develop the prevailing sentiment that, post Covid-19, we cannot and should not return to "life as we know it". What might a different future look like? Contributions will be published open access (free to publish and free to read) on the Goldsmiths Press website and on The Commonplace (a publication of the Knowledge Futures Group).
