HIST196JA

Through this year-long internship, students work under faculty direction to produce an issue of the UCSB History Departments Undergraduate Journal. Students meet every two weeks and gain practical experience in scholarly publishing disseminating calls for papers, soliciting undergraduate contributions, locating peer reviewers, facilitating revisions with authors, and bibliographic and copywriting work. They also gain a working knowledge of the UCSB Librarys online publication platform, which will host the journal. Students utilize various digital humanities tools - podcasts, social media, and websites - to promote the undergraduate research being published in Journal as well as host an annual showcase of scholars work.

This is part one of a two quarter internship. Students will earn 4 units total upon completion of HIST 196JB. Use HIST 196JC to earn credit for journal participation beyond two quarters.
