LaPoD Press at UCLA follows on the work of NUPoD at Northwestern. These print-on-demand courses frame the classroom as a publishing studio. Each week, students are given a publishing assignment, often with a rigorous structuring principle or collaborative set of rules, and are expected to publish a book. At the end of the quarter, every participant in the seminar leaves with a shelf full of books they’ve published (alone and in collaboration)—these are the only required purchases in the course.
Edit Publications thrive in the classroom. Where critical making meets creative learning. Each seminar bears its own publishing logic, beyond the year-based sampling of this site.
LaPoD is a prime example of the range of this work: from a set of revisions to Mallarmé’s “Un coup de dés jamais n’abolira le hasard” to a webcrawler publication exploring the course syllabus to a Xerox bootleg reader to an anonymous collective diary to an image-based exploration of the UCLA library system. Each opening the art of publishing and editing in a new and unexpected ways.
