Doing Research as an Independent Scholar, A Round Table (RSVPDigEv 2021 series)

In the wake of Covid-19’s impact, many have asked the questions about their future careers in periodical studies as they face a future where academic austerity threatens to become the “new normal.” While not all scholars seek academic positions, those who do often wonder what it takes to continue producing rigorous and satisfying research apart from the university setting. RSVP has long supported independent researchers of all kinds whose interests intersect with the wide world and long history of Victorian periodicals. During this more informal Q&A session, our panelists answered questions from the audience and offered their insights on how to do research when one is not affiliated with a university. Our distinguished panelists included: Judith Flanders (https://www.judithflanders.co.uk/), a journalist and highly acclaimed author of both fiction and non-fiction. In addition to her Sam Clair Mysteries series, she writes regularly about history, theatre, dance, and the contemporary arts for the Sunday Telegraph, Wall Street Journal, Spectator, TLS, and theartsdesk.com. Helen Rappaport (https://helenrappaport.com/), an international best-selling author, media consultant, and freelance historian who specialises in the period 1837-1918 in Britain and Russia. Her forthcoming books include a history of Russian emigration to Paris after the revolution in the US and a biography of Mary Seacole in the UK, both due out Spring 2022. Marie Léger-St-Jean, an independent scholar and digital humanist based in Montréal, where she edits Price One Penny: A Database of Cheap Literature, 1837-1860 (http://www.priceonepenny.info/). Her research focuses on early Victorian fiction published in penny weekly numbers and its role as a nexus in a Western transmedia popular culture. Patrick Leary, a former president and long-time member of RSVP. He is the founder/manager of the VICTORIA listserv, and he curates the Victoria Research Web (https://victorianresearch.org/), a treasure trove of Victorian research resources old and new. He also is the author of The Punch Brotherhood (2010), a prize-winning study of how oral culture shaped this iconic Victorian periodical. The session was moderated by Kaari Newman.
