Intersections: Identity & Place

Course Readings from Lived Places Publishing

The library is central to supporting course design and content selection. Faculty are increasingly asking libraries to acquire and provide materials from a broader, more diverse range of authors and subject areas to augment their courses and meet the needs of their students. 

Lived Places Publishing (LPP) exists to support librarians and faculty in this goal. Each title we publish explores the intersection of identity and place, humanizing an issue through lived experience(s).

Intersections: Identity & Place is a collection of 105 titles that serve as concise course readings (100-150 pages) across a variety of subjects and themes. Here's a sampling of the titles in the collection. See below for downloadable version (.xls) of the complete title list.
