#48 How to write an academic book (with Assoc. Prof. Roger Søraa from NTNU)
Category: Science & Medicine
Duration: 00:58:34
Publish Date: 2023-01-24 14:22:40
Description:

In this podcast, we typically focus on digital science communication, specifically content creation and strategies for creating it. However, today we're going offline and discussing a different form of science communication: writing an academic or scientific book. This is a great way to make scientific knowledge more accessible and easier to understand, beyond just publishing papers. As someone who has not yet written a scientific book during my PhD, I am excited to have a colleague with more experience in this area joining us to share their knowledge.

He is an associate professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology - with a focus on digitalization and robotization of society and its ethical, gendered and epistomological consequences. We work together at the Department of Interdisciplinary Studies of Culture - here in Trondheim. And he has not only published a first book, but is also just about to publish his second one. It is called AI for Diversity and it is available for pre order at https://www.routledge.com/AI-for-Diversity/Soraa/p/book/9781032073569.

You will learn what you need think about when writing an academic book, what different book set ups exits, how the publishing landscape looks like today and how different authors design their writing process. 

In the first ca. 10 min we talk quite a bit about Roger and his new book. So if you want to skip that part please feel free to jump right to minute 10.
