Congratulations to Silas Munro on receiving a grant for The MIT Press Program for Diverse Voices. Munro is a faculty member of the MFA in Graphic Design program.
Data by Design: A Counterhistory of Data Visualization, 1789-1900, excavates the hidden history of data visualization through evocative argument and bold visual detail.
“Launched in 2021, the program provides direct support for new work by authors who bring excluded or chronically underrepresented perspectives to the fields in which the Press publishes, which include the sciences, arts, and humanities.
Recipients are selected after submitting a book proposal and completing a successful peer review. Grants can support a variety of needs, including research travel, copyright permission fees, parental/family care, developmental editing, and other costs associated with the research and writing process.”
Silas Munro is founder of the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC-owned graphic design studio Polymode based in Los Angeles and Raleigh. Munro is faculty co-chair for the MFA Program in graphic design at the Vermont College of Fine Arts.
