This workshop offers the opportunity to think about how to write about your research for public audiences and how to go about getting published with a trade press. Kathryn Hurlock is Professor of Religious and Military History. In 2025 Kathryn’s book Holy Places: How Pilgrimage Changed the World was published with Profile Books. In this book, she follows the trail of pilgrimage through nineteen sacred sites – from the temples of Jerusalem to the banks of the Ganges, by way of Iona, Lourdes, Amritsar and Buenos Aires – revealing the many ways in which this ancient practice has shaped our religions and our world. Kathryn will share wisdom from her experience of writing and publishing this book, and you’ll have an opportunity to think about how you might pitch your research for a public audience.
