spill it. stories of menstruating on campus

spill it. features qualitative responses from an exploratory research study, involving a survey and campus audit. The study aimed to document access to menstrual products and student experiences with menstruation on campus. As a first zine author and artist Rebecca Johnson hopes that spill it. will illuminate what it's like to menstruate on campus, and inspire others to share their story. 

Earth is not what we think

EARTH IS NOT WHAT WE THINK is a 2020 poetry zine which explores cartography, early GIS software, esoteric geography, ontological terrorism, the end of the world, and the perils of the relationship between maps and the territories they represent and create. Created by Douglas College Zine Research Assistant and Zinester Nat Begg

 

Little Feminist Zine (Issue 1) : Pandemic edition

This zine emerged as a class project in a Gender, Sexualities and Women’s Studies (GSWS 1101) class with Douglas College faculty instructor Jaime Yard. The planned distribution was to “little libraries” around our New West campus and our homes. When COVID 19 social isolation measures were put in place the editorial team rapidly pivoted to bring this e-zine to you!

Where are the Zine Collections?

Zines are located at both the David Lam and New Westminster campus libraries and are an in-house browsing collection.  You may use them in the library but they cannot be signed out. 

  • Most of the zines can be searched and found in Google if you need a copy.
  • The Douglas College Zine collection is not catalogued and therefore cannot be searched in the library catalogue.
