Abstract
The conclusion of ENIUGH allows us to take stock of our field. The roundtable will do so by considering how research in global history is shaping history publishing more broadly, tracing the impact of new directions within (and on) our discipline. The roundtable brings together editors who will approach the subject from different perspectives, reflecting the nature of their publications: journals that are specifically dedicated to global history (Comparativ, the Journal of Global History), a journal that covers a wider range of fields and sub-fields (History: The Journal of the Historical Association), an academic publishing house (Bloomsbury Academic) and a book series (‘Global and International History’ at Cambridge University Press). The discussion will probe the way in which inclusive, multi-vocal histories can be reflected in academic journals and books, and highlight future strategies that publishers, editors and authors can deploy to this end.
