DESCRIPTION:“Burning Down the House” challenges the view that scholar-l
 ed open-access publishing has helped push open access in a more commercial
  direction\, and that nonprofit university presses offer a better\, more b
 alanced path for fair access to knowledge. \n\nIn this talk\, Dr. Eileen J
 oy questions the recent idea of “academy-owned” publishing and argues 
 that today’s market-driven university system is not the best place to gu
 arantee equitable access or academic freedom. \n\nWhile university presses
  have published important work\, they also operate within systems that val
 ue oversight\, metrics\, and conformity. These pressures shape hiring\, te
 nure\, and promotion\, and can limit creativity and independent thinking
 —even as presses claim to “advance thought.” \n\nBy framing publishi
 ng as “academy-owned\,” universities risk reinforcing the idea that kn
 owledge belongs within established institutions. Joy’s talk suggests tha
 t scholar-led presses may currently offer more space for experimental\, un
 conventional\, and independent scholarship. \n\nRegister here.
