We’re speaking with Professor Anna Peterson (Religion, University of Florida). She received her PhD from the University of Chicago Divinity School and her AB from the University of California at Berkeley. Her research focuses on religion and social change, especially in Latin America; environmental and social ethics; and animal studies. Professor Peterson has decades of experience in something that is rare among humanities scholars: collaborative writing. What are the benefits and drawbacks of co-authored publications? We talk about why and when scholars might choose to collaborate with academics from other disciplines, as well as how a professor or a graduate student might signal interest in collaborative work.
