Publication Opportunity with AM (Remote)
AM are a specialist publisher of digital primary sources. We’re currently looking for authors for a new project, AM Research Skills: Ethnic and Indigenous Studies.
The aim of this new digital educational resource is to provide students and researchers with practical guidance on how to use primary sources in Ethnic studies and Indigenous studies. It will offer students the opportunity to engage with historical and contemporary issues and provide guidance for instructors and librarians to incorporate assignments and classroom activities into teaching. This project will bring together knowledge from academics and community leaders across the globe.
As part of this project, we will include over 100 practice sources for students to work with. To support them in learning how to engage with and analyze these primary sources, we are looking for academics to write source case studies demonstrating how to work with a specific source type.
The sources available and their potential themes are listed here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CJ0xTx1Y80I6rJIuMFE1dDlmAA126FkocHb2cq_vFac/edit?usp=sharing
