Abstract Details

2023, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, History.
Despite being an integral part of the discipline, the traditional academic journal significant contributes to the notion that history is a discipline confined to the ivory tower- inaccessible and unconcerned with the practicalities of the public sphere. This thesis is a proposition, and a paper prototype, for a new form of scholarly communication- an open-access, digital publication of academic history that prioritizes accessibility, the dissemination of “radical” historical theories, and facilitation of new methodologies of historical analysis. Intended to be a supplemental publication for the traditional academic journal, this publication aims to capitalize upon the technological advancements of the digital turn to bridge the gap between historians and the public sphere.
