At Lived Places Publishing we publish course readings that focus on lived experiences in the context of place. We provide an ever-growing list of interdisciplinary and subject-based collections in topics across academic curriculum – such as Black Studies, Gender Studies, Disability Studies, and Queer and LGBT+ Studies. Our hope is our books will help educators introduce a topic and engage students through stories, multiple voices, and the experiences of people around the world.
