Danielle Callegari on Popular Publishing
<p>Danielle Callegari is Associate Professor of Italian at Dartmouth College and author of the 2022 book <a href="https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.5117/9789463720427/dante-gluttons-danielle-callegari" target="_blank">Dante’s Gluttons</a> from Amsterdam University Press. She is also writer-at-large for the magazine Wine Enthusiast, for which she writes long-form articles and reviews, and rates wines. Her popular-audience book <a href="https://thenewpress.org/books/9798893850338/" target="_blank">A Bite-Sized History of Italy</a><a href="https://thenewpress.org/books/9798893850338/" target="_blank"> </a>is just out from the New Press. And together with Katie Parla she co-hosts the Italian gastronomy podcast Gola. I asked Danielle how she found her way into public-facing writing, how she thinks about that work in relation to her academic writing, and what strategies she has for anyone who wants to start publishing in popular venues.</p><p><u>A bit of Danielle's popular writing</u>:</p><p><a href="https://www.wineenthusiast.com/culture/maugeri-family/" target="_blank">Meet the Three Sisters Making Some of Sicily’s Most Exciting Wines</a></p><p><a href="https://www.wineenthusiast.com/island-hopping-in-sicily/" target="_blank">An Island-Hopping Guide to Sicily</a></p><p><a href="Environmental Advocate of the Year Col D’Orcia Is Doing Something Unprecedented" target="_blank">Environmental Advocate of the Year Col D’Orcia Is Doing Something Unprecedented</a></p><p><a href="https://www.wineenthusiast.com/culture/travel/venice-guide/" target="_blank">An Eating and Drinking Guide to Venice, Minus the Tourists</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/drcallegariscabinet/" target="_blank">@drcallegariscabinet</a></p><p><u>Mentioned</u>:</p><p>Daniel Mendelsohn, <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/10/15/is-the-aeneid-a-celebration-of-empire-or-a-critique" target="_blank">"Is the Aeneid a celebration of empire or a critique?" </a></p>

Ashwini Tambe on Editorial Mentoring
<p>Ashwini Tambe is Professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at George Washington University and the former editorial director, from 2011 until 2024, of the interdisciplinary journal Feminist Studies. There’s a key bit of back story to this episode. On two unrelated occasions in my career, authors from very different disciplines each sent me a quite remarkable document that they had received in response to a submission to Feminist Studies. These were letters, written by Ashwini on behalf of the journal, that generously and generatively summed up and responded to reader reports. In these letters, she laid out the readers’ key points, described the strengths and weaknesses of the essay as she and her colleagues saw them, and offered a series of thoughtful suggestions for what the author could do. In each case that I saw, it was great advice, and it was delivered in a notably careful and caring manner. So I wanted to talk to Ashwini about how and why she wrote those documents, and about the role they played in the journal’s broader approach to mentoring.</p><p><u>Mentioned</u>:</p><p>Aatish Taseer, <a href="https://books.catapult.co/books/a-return-to-self/" target="_blank">A Return to Self: Excursions in Exile</a>.</p>

Lisa Trever on Making a Publishing Plan
<p>Lisa Trever is the Lisa and Bernard Selz Associate Professor of Pre-Columbian Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University and her department’s Career Officer. Before coming to Columbia, Lisa was a professor in the department of the history of art at UC Berkeley. She co-directs the archaeological research at the ancient center of Pañamarca in Peru. That’s a lot of experience thinking and talking about publishing toward professional goals. So I wanted to talk to her about putting together a publishing plan, and about the advice she gives to graduate students and junior colleagues. We talked about what, where, and when to publish for different career moments – getting a job, keeping a job, and changing jobs.</p><p><u>Mentioned:</u></p><p>Sandra Rozental, <a href="https://dukeupress.edu/the-absent-stone" target="_blank">The Absent Stone: Mexican Patrimony and the Aftershocks of State Theft</a>.</p><p><a href="https://www.panamarca.org/pintando-creatividad" target="_blank">https://www.panamarca.org/pintando-creatividad</a></p>
