<div style="font-size:12.8px">Hello all,</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">We are very pleased to announce the release of JoPP's 12th Special Issue: Makerspaces and Institutions.</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">-----><span> </span><a href="http://peerproduction.net/issues/issue-12-makerspaces-and-institutions/" target="_blank" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)" id="LPlnk199971" class="OWAAutoLink" previewremoved="true">http://peerproduction.net/<wbr>issues/issue-12-makerspaces-<wbr>and-institutions/</a></div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">Makerspaces are subjects in a plurality of institutional advances and developments, catching the imaginations of a wide variety of organisations and other actors drawn to a buzz of enticing possibilities. Depending upon the nature
of the encounter, makerspaces are becoming cradles for entrepreneurship, innovators in education, nodes in open hardware networks, studios for digital artistry, ciphers for social change, prototyping shops for manufacturers, remanufacturing hubs in circular
economies, twenty-first century libraries, emblematic anticipations of commons-based, peer-produced post capitalism, workshops for hacking technology and its politics, laboratories for smart urbanism, galleries for hands-on explorations in material culture...
not forgetting, of course, spaces for simply having fun.</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">What kinds of hybrid arrangements emerge through these encounters, and what becomes of the occupied factories for peer production theory? How are institutions reshaping aspirations for autonomous, even democratic, fabrication and
experimentation � aspirations that were � and are � important parts of makerspace narratives? And what do these encounters mean for institutions, whether in education, culture, business, development or some other sphere; how are they too evolving through their
exposure to grassroots and community making practices?</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">This is a mega issue, exploring institutional developments in all their complexity through 13 research articles (each of which have been peer reviewed and revised through the Journal�s particularly transparent process, which makes
all review steps public) and 7 practitioner contributions from key leaders working in the field. </div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-size:12.8px">Please take a look, tell us what you think, and help us spread the discussions through your networks. This project is the result of a long labour of love for the many makers and thinkers involved, and we look forward to hearing
your thoughts.</div>
