Post/doc is a biannual publishing series by the Vera List Center for discursive, speculative, experimental writing and artistic practices. Launched in fall 2022, the series features interdisciplinary works by writers, artists, musicians, and poets that respond to the Center’s programmatic Focus Themes. Documenting connections between disciplines, the theoretical and the practical, Post/doc is a digital space for shared knowledge production.
