BugNip Press, directed by Grant Farred, welcomes innovative work that explores the urgent philosophical and philosophico-political issues of our moment. The press is open to different kinds of writing but privileges work that thinks seriously about how to address the critical difficulties of our conjuncture. It publishes a combination of collective work, such as edited volumes, monographs, and short, pamphlet-like interventions that weave together philosophy (that is, the theoretically inclined/abstraction, thinking philosophical difficulties) and interventions into key issues of our moment.
