University Press Week 2020 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Emphasizing the role that university presses play in <\/span>elevating authors, subjects, and whole disciplines that bring new perspectives, ideas, and voices to readers around the globe, the <\/span>Association of University Presses<\/strong><\/a> (AUPresses) has chosen \u201cRaise UP\u201d as the theme for this year\u2019s University Press Week. <\/span>University Press Week<\/strong><\/a> (UP Week) runs from Monday, November 9, through Sunday, November 15.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cRaise UP\u201d is a particularly apt theme in a time when information moves at faster speeds than ever before across all platforms. It\u2019s critical that scholarship about the most important ideas of the day is nurtured, championed, and made widely available. To that end, AUPresses members have suggested a <\/span>\u201cRaise UP Reading List\u201d and \u201cRaise UP Gallery\u201d<\/strong><\/a> that can serve as a starting place for any reader who wants to learn more.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The UP Week \u201cRaise UP Reading List\u201d can be found online at: <\/span>https:\/\/upweek.up.hcommons.org\/celebrate\/up-week-2020\/gallery-and-reading-list\/<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In keeping with the theme of \u201cRaise UP,\u201d events and promotions during the week will emphasize the strong and long-term partnerships university presses have developed with booksellers, librarians, trade groups, and other cultural outlets and venues.<\/span> The UP community will host online celebrations of this year\u2019s theme via a blog tour, and industry supporters such as Ingram, NetGalley, and Baker & Taylor also will mark the week online through special messages and marketing. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

University presses publish more than 12,000 books each year, as well as nearly 1,500 journals and numerous innovative digital works. One hundred fifty-four presses belong to AUPresses, and 20 percent of that number are presses based outside the U.S.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

            <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cUniversity presses undertake the work of raising up our authors, colleagues, and publishing partners every day, making it only appropriate that University Press Week celebrates this dimension of our community,\u201d said AUPresses Executive Director Peter Berkery. \u201cWe look forward to spending this week highlighting the vital research and ideas that university presses, through these relationships, are able to introduce to eager reading audiences around the world.\u201d  <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
