Session 2 of the Why Publish? series will take place tomorrow, October 14, from 12-2pm. The workshop will invite students to present and receive feedback on their publication proposals and to engage others in the structure and ambitions of their publications. It will be led by Isabelle Kirkham-Lewitt, Joanna Joseph, Meriam Soltan, and Isabelle A. Tan.
This event will be presented in a hybrid in-person and virtual format. Register for the webinar on Zoom here.
Why Publish? proceeds from a space of uncertainty. It asks that we consider the urgencies, imperatives,
dependencies, and stakes of publishing within schools of design; that we pause before printing to reflect
on why another publication is even necessary. This workshop is rooted in the belief that why and how we
publish is just as important as what we publish. It aims not only to provide students with the tools and
resources to create their own publications but to think thoughtfully, generously, rigorously about the
limits and possibilities attendant to printed work. Why Publish? offers students the space to be in
conversation with the Office of Publications and its collaborators—modeling a supportive editorial
exchange that insists on publishing as a collective project with collective consequences.
This event is open to currently enrolled students at Columbia GSAPP.
