The more I've personally thought about these issues, the more I think we should all be looking at UPs not (just) as funded but as directly FUNDING fields that unis have all but abandoned. Monographs cost more to make than they earn. UPs are putting $$ DIRECTLY where unis don't.

I'm obsessed with this stat: "with more than 4,000 degree-granting institutions and fewer than 130 university presses in the United States and Canada, this vital [publishing] infrastructure is directly supported by less than 3 percent of the institutions it benefits"

Very cool, looking forward to hearing more — if you haven’t read the De Quincey essay on the Orion Nebula (“System of the Heavens”) I highly recommend, it is a RIDE.

Probably adjacent, but C18-19 stuff on nebulae and / or peripheral modes of perception? Srdjan Smajić’s Ghost-Seers, Detectives, and Spiritualists comes to mind — also Rei Terada’s Looking Away!
