This month, the MA Design Studies program proudly launches the online companion to our print journal, Plot(s). Volumes I, II, and III of the journal are now available to read and download on the website.

Plot(s) online allows for flexible timing in publishing scholarly content, reviews, and visual media pieces (including video and other formats not available to our print issue), and we encourage all who are interested in submitting to Plot(s) online to email plots@newschool.edu with your piece.

The online team is led by Design Studies faculty Jilly Traganou, under the direction of alumna and part-time faculty Dora Vanette. The contents and design are the work of our students:  Salma Shamel, Claudia Marina, Shea Mandolesi, Adam Ridgeway, Fattori Fraser, and Kayla O’Daniel.  Jen Rhee, Molly Rottman, and Afiya Owens-Khalfani supported the project in the Parsons Deans Office.

Plans to produce Volume III in print as part of a double-issue with Volume IV this spring are in the works. Please note that the call for submissions for Volume IV (print and online) is now open, and the deadline is on December 19, 2016.

Please see below for submission details.
