Announcement: BLS Initiative 2021 Winners

At Vernon Press, we are committed to providing a home for ideas of international importance and supporting pluralism and intellectual diversity. In accordance with this mission, our Bridging Languages and Scholarship (BLS) initiative aims to extend the reach of selected titles by facilitating or financing translations into other languages, and to support the production of multilingual and translingual publications for the international markets we serve. To recognize high-quality scholarship, we have committed to cover the cost of a small number of translations into Spanish. Our selection is based on the recommendations of independent peer reviewers (all selected manuscripts must have been among our best scoring manuscripts in terms of originality, rigor, and potential impact) and our internal market assessment.

New Release: In the Making: Digital Fabrication and Disability

In the last decade, digital fabrication and its applications have become a matter of great interest and debate. Its implications are far-reaching and may be approached in a wide variety of ways, although it has generally been analysed in either technical or economic terms. In this volume, Ursula Hurley seeks to offer an unprecedented and interdisciplinary study of the consequences digital fabrication has had from a cultural and aesthetic point of view; focusing on how it affects human interactions as well as aspects such as creative processes and identity. Hurley explores the implications these alternative readings of digital fabrication may pose for disabled people, making use of data obtained through innovative fieldwork that demonstrates how current the issue is.
