Sarah Victoria Turner is co-founder and editor of British Art Studies, an open-access digital journal co-published by the Paul Mellon Centre and the Yale Center for British Art. In this workshop, she will discuss the broader implications of a “digital turn” within the arts and humanities and share her experience of being published and publishing the work of others online. She will discuss issues of open access publishing, interdisciplinary collaboration and new art historical methodologies being shaped by digital tools. This will be an informal discussion workshop with a short presentation followed by Q&A and discussion, with plenty of practical tips and advice.
