Jason Baird Jackson
Associate Professor of Folklore,
Indiana University
Jason Baird Jackson is an ethnographer whose work bridges the
fields of folklore studies, cultural anthropology, linguistic
anthropology, and ethnomusicology. He is the editor of the
open-access scholarly journal Museum Anthropology Review,
published by the Indiana University Libraries as part of the IUScholarWorks Journals project. Jackson launched
the journal after becoming dissatisfied with publisher policies while
serving as editor of Museum Anthropology, published by the
American Anthropological Association and Wiley-Blackwell. He was part
of a group that recently published an article entitled "Anthropology of/in Circulation: The Future of Open
Access and Scholarly Societies," which appeared in Cultural
Anthropology and is now freely available. More about Professor Jackson...
The presentation will be followed by a panel discussion
and Q&A with faculty members from the Academic Health Center, the
College of Liberal Arts, and the Institute of Technology.
