The DHS Reading Groups are a new initiative of the Design History Society to support emerging researchers interested in developing their ideas through debate and peer-review in a friendly environment. Participants of two initial groups (Design History & Digital Humanities, led by Anna Talley and Design History & Language Rights, led by Tai Cossich) will collaborate with each other to develop their work to publication standards. The meetings are open to all: those interested in developing a proposal, and those interested in the reading sessions only.
Here is the Call for Papers for the collaborative publishing workshops. And see the details of each meeting below. You can also subscribe to the Reading Groups newsletter to receive more information.
