UPCOMING EVENTS
Crises for Publishing Societies are Not New! A History of Scientific Journals (Interview)
Join Society Street in conversation as we chat to Aileen Fyfe, one of the authors of A History of Scientific Journals, and talk about some of the challenges that societies have faced historically, and think about how they compare to today’s challenges.
We’ll be talking on 30th November, in our last event for 2022.
The session will finish with an open Q&A for live attendees. Thanks to the continued support of our sponsors, all Society Street events are free to attend.
The session will be available on demand on this page later.
Crises for Publishing Societies are Not New! A History of Scientific Journals (Interview)
Join Sam Burrell, our Program Chair, as she talks to Aileen about her new book, which explores the history of the Royal Society’s Philosophical Transactions from its very earliest days. (It’s an OA and you can find it HERE!)
What has this got to do with today’s Learned Societies? It might surprise you. Finding out about how we got to where we are today offers surprising insights into the business models of mission-led publishing societies, and shows us how we got to where we are today. (And besides, it’s really interesting.)
After the interview, Aileen and Sam will be joining a Zoom call open to all Society Street attendees to continue the conversation and invite you to ask Aileen — and each other — the questions that Sam didn’t get to. The interview will be made available on demand afterwards, but the Zoom call will not (and it’s often the best bit)!

Societies: Is Your Governance Fit For Purpose? (Fireside Chat)
Join us in conversation with societies about their governance, discussing the need for an evolving governance structure that meets the needs of our changing organisations. Is your board of directors or trustees made up of 30 people or three? (And which is better?) Who on your board has responsibility for communications or finance? Do they have the appropriate expertise? If not, what should the society do about that? Do members feed in to the decision making at the society? How? Which ways work best?
The session will be chaired by Claire Angus, Director of Membership Services at the Royal College of Podiatry, and a member of the 2022 Society Street Program Committee.
She will be joined by:
Katy Amberley, Chief Executive at the British Society for Haematology (and also a member of the 2022 Society Street Program Committee)
Andrew Chamberlain, Co-founder at Elevated
and
Josh Wright, President of the British Society for Haematology
The session will be followed by a live Q&A on Zoom with some of our contributors: we are expecting some lively conversation! Come along.
