Last Wednesday, my fellow XPUB1 classmates and me wrapped up the trimester with a collective folding, binding, and paginating party to make A_Mazing Machine[s]: Wordscapes to Liberate Language, the printed publication of our Special Issue 28!

My first few months at @xpub have been incredible. I am so proud of my classmates, the work we did together, and what we learned. I am also very grateful to our tutors, who have been super kind and inspiring!

All information, plus a PDF of the printed version, made with WeasyPrint is available on this Eleventy website we created to share all the things that we explored. It mirrors our incredible, legendary wiki. It was very interesting and insightful, so I published my notes about Using MediaWiki as a CMS for Eleventy.

Yesterday, our Experimental Publishing reading group took as one of its chosen texts Tara McPherson’s ‘Scaling Vectors: Thoughts on the Future of Scholarly Communication’, which appeared in the Journal of Electronic Publishing in 2010.

https://quod.lib.umich.edu/j/jep/3336451.0013.208?view=text;rgn=main

It has lines such as: ‘While innovative publishing efforts have emerged from a variety of spaces … it is safe to say that change has not broadly swept through the humanities.’

And: ‘The impulse to conserve the status quo emerges largely from humanities scholars themselves. Faced with a variety of threats (both real and perceived) to the humanities, scholars tend to hold on to established modes of working.’

All raises the question, has much changed in the 15 years since these words were written? And if not, why not? Does anyone have any ideas?
