Champion Underrepresented Identities with LPP

Lived Places Publishing (LPP) is a small, independent publisher of applied, concise course readings that represent often marginalized people. As Information Today recently wrote, “LPP is an ambitious and intimate endeavor with the goal to bridge identity and place, scholarship and story­telling, rigor and empathy.”

Covering topics like Disability Studies, Black Studies, Queer and LGBT+ Studies, and Carceral Studies, LPP’s titles are written by, or about, real people who are experiencing the challenges and joy of their identity in the context of place. According to Library Journal, “…Readers can immerse themselves in (LPP’s) stories of Korean gay men in Seattle, a Mexican American family in Texas, a woman who owns a small business in the U.S. rust belt, a woman with undiagnosed autism in New York, and members of the Buddhist minority in Bangladesh…Theirs are personal stories coupled with conventional scholarship.”  

LPP’s Publisher and Co-founder, David Parker, is inviting VALE members to participate in a live, interactive webinar on Friday, Oct. 24 at 10:30am EST.

During the webinar you will learn, and if you’d like, provide input on how LPP:

• Helps faculty increase student engagement, compassion, and critical thinking: LPP’s titles include suggested learning objectives and activities that can easily be added to their syllabi.   
• Supports Open Access: 5% of each sale funds LPP’s open access titles.  
• Offers library-friendly terms: LPP offers a perpetual access model with unrestricted access, no DRM, and whole ebook ILL as well as an affordable subscription.
