Abstract
The concluding roundtable at ENIUGH allows us to take stock of the field. It 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) and an academic publishing house (Bloomsbury Academic) that has promoted global history through a number of its series. The discussion will probe the way in which inclusive, multi-vocal histories can be reflected in academic journals and books. It highlights future strategies that publishers and editors can adopt but, crucially, also considers the role of, and options for, current and emerging authors.
