It makes sense to be open: experiences from researchers in two very different disciplines Online
In this session, we'll hear the first hand experiences of two researchers from very different disciplines. While Dr. Sarah Fox is an Historian and Oenone Scott is a Life Scientist, both of these researchers' work would not be as effective if they did not embrace open practices in one form or another.
Dr. Sarah Fox is a social and cultural historian of eighteenth-century Britain. Her first book, Giving Birth in Eighteenth-Century England, was published open access in 2022 by the University of London press and was shortlisted for the Royal Historical Society's Whitfield Prize. Her second book, The King's Dinner: Family, Nation, and Identity on the British Table, 1760-1820, is soon to be published open access by UCL.
Oenone Scott is a postgraduate research student within the school of Life Sciences at the University of Essex.
