Amplified is an audio blog series about the sounds of scholarship from our team here at the Amplify Podcast Network. In this episode, we’re joined by a leading thinker in the refereed open-access online scholarship movement, Dr. Cheryl Ball. Cheryl is Senior Editor at Kairos: A Journal of Rhetoric, Technology, and Pedagogy. A refreshingly ground-breaking anti-racist community-driven open-access journal publishing academic web texts since 1996. Together we talk about how and why the journal got started and where Cheryl hopes to see digital publishing headed next.
