Welcome to Mosaïque Press
Mosaïque Press is a community publishing initiative, based in the Department of Integrated Studies in Education at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ. The press was created to support forms of writing, scholarship, artistic production, and community knowledge-making that often struggle to find a place within conventional academic and commercial publishing systems. Mosaïque Press seeks to create alternative pathways for sharing such work by supporting open-access, community-centered, and collaborative forms of publishing.
Our publications include educational materials developed by teachers and students, research-creation projects, community writing initiatives, multimedia productions, and other forms of cultural and textual production. Rather than controlling the publishing process, we work alongside contributors by offering editorial consultation, practical guidance, and dissemination support. We are committed to making publishing more accessible and helping individuals and communities navigate the journey from idea to publication.
Mosaïque Press is especially interested in projects related to language, literacy, education, culture, migration, multilingualism, community life, social justice, and creative inquiry. We welcome diverse genres and formats, including textbooks, anthologies, teaching resources, films, podcasts, exhibitions, digital projects, creative writing, research reports, and community publications.
Above all, Mosaïque Press is guided by a community publishing ethos: knowledge is not produced only in commercialized mainstream publishing. Meaningful knowledge also emerges through classrooms, community organizations, grassroots initiatives, artistic collaborations, and everyday experiences. We aim to support the circulation of these diverse forms of knowledge and make them accessible to wider publics.
We invite grassroots organizations, educators, students, researchers, artists, writers, community groups, and cultural producers to explore community publishing with us. If you have an idea for a publication, a collaborative project, or a community-based initiative that deserves a wider audience, we would be delighted to hear from you. Contact us to start a conversation.
