Publishing Fundamentals: In Celebration of Duke University Press’s Centennial

To mark the Centennial of the Duke University Press, the DUP and the John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute (FHI) are jointly hosting two events, one in Spring 2026 and the other in Fall 2026. The Spring event, Publishing Fundamentals, will feature two panels on everything you need to know about publishing your humanities and social science book: from the process of turning a dissertation into a book to strategies for connecting with the best press for your book. Reception to follow.

NAMs and TAMs (New and Traditional Approaches and Methodologies): The Future of Laboratory-Based Environmental Health and Toxicology Research for Harm Reduction

This symposium will explore how New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) and Traditional Approaches and Methodologies (TAMs) can be integrated to advance environmental health and toxicology research. Speakers will highlight emerging experimental platforms-including organoids, alternative model organisms, high-throughput screening systems, and computational tools-alongside established animal and laboratory models that have historically driven toxicology research.
