Joshua Piker was editor of the William & Mary Quarterly from 2014 to 2024. His talk will be oriented toward graduate students and early career faculty in the humanities broadly defined.
Piker will urge authors to think about the publishing process from within the context of their own scholarship and professional trajectory, rather than from within a peer review and selection process that they do not control.
He will consider questions such as “What sort of article am I writing?” and “What will it do for me intellectually and professionally?” He will also talk about rejection and what it does not mean.

We’re Turning 100!
To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”
Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
