The 2175 {\AA} bump shows considerable variations in its strength, width, and central wavelength when observed along different sightlines in the Milky Way and other galaxies. These variations offer valuable insights into the composition, size distribution, and processing of interstellar dust grains along different sightlines. This paper introduces a mission concept called UVESS (Ultraviolet Extinction Sky Survey) aimed at exploring the composition of the interstellar medium (ISM) within both the Milky Way and nearby Local Group Galaxies by mapping the variation of UV extinction curve slopes and the 2175 {\AA} feature across a majority of the sky to gain insights into the makeup of the ISM. Recent advancements in UV instrumentation and technologies pave the way for the development of high-throughput instruments in compact form factors. In this paper, we outline mission science goals and instrument concept tailored for a small satellite-based platform dedicated to the study of UV extinction.

Constraining the link between the 2175{\AA} dust absorption feature and PAHs in Nearby Star-Forming Galaxies using Swift/UVOT and JWST/MIRI
The resolved correlation between the 2175 Å dust bump and PAH abundance in 15 nearby galaxies mostly vanishes after controlling for star-formation surface density, disfavouring PAHs as the direct carrier of the bump.
