Akshya Saxena to edit new series on accented thinking

Associate Professor Akshya Saxena and the co-editors of Thinking with an Accent have launched “Accented,” a new open-access book series from Amherst College Press. Accented publishes works exploring accent as a critical mode of cultural production and interpretation. The series seeks to model accented thinking as a way to disturb the normative logics of academic, archival, media, legal, and bureaucratic structures. Books in the series amplify subversive everyday acts by accented subjects and employ accent as an intersectional, intermedial, and interdisciplinary way of knowing.
We invite rigorous, innovative, and daring scholarship (between 40,000 and 70,000 words) that spans textual, archival, ethnographic, and hybrid approaches
across time periods and linguistic contexts. The series particularly welcomes projects that embrace the multimodal format, such as video essay books and dialogical experiments.
