DIY, Alternatives Cultures, & Society is the first academic journal dedicated to the theme of DIY (do-it-yourself) and alternative cultures. As such, it is our vision that the journal will quickly establish itself as the global forum for robust scholarship from researchers across the world focusing on this rapidly expanding and evolving topic. Currently research on DIY and alternative culture related themes is published in a disparate range of journals. View full journal description
