Sigi Jöttkandt, Joanna Zylinska & Gary Hall, 'Friendship, and Other Ways of Producing Knowledge', Scholē IRL podcast on OHP 

'Friendship, and Other Ways of Producing Knowledge', with Sigi Jöttkandt, Joanna Zylinska and Gary Hall, Scholē IRL, April 29, 2026.

'This week, we are joined with Sigi Jöttkandt, Joanna Zylinska, and Gary Hall, the Directors of the Open Humanities Press,  an international community of scholars, editors and readers with a focus on critical and cultural theory and a mission to make leading works of contemporary critical thought available worldwide. OHP has operated as an independent initiative since 2006, promoting open access scholarship in journals, books and exploring new forms of scholarly communication. OHP’s organization is a community-interest company headquartered in London. The OHP Editorial Board is at the heart of all their activities: participating in journal assessments, reviewing and approving book series proposals, performing and managing peer review, and editing the OHP book series. They act on the principles of access, scholarship, diversity and transparency. They have also partnered with a number of groups and institutions to explore grass-roots solutions to the crisis in Humanities publishing.'
