As a UNC graduate, I'm sad for the campus. As a @natlhumanities.bsky.social trustee, I'm over the moon.

There's also now this fun thing where she's on my board @uncpress.bsky.social and I'm on hers. Like a Hofstadter loop.

If I'm counting right, of the 6 books that were either winners or finalists for Pulitzers in history and general non-fiction, 4 were published by university presses. A fifth author had an early career UP work. Our work has never been harder. And never more relevant. #ReadUP!

Great choice to lead one of our vital partners. Congrats @editorkelley.bsky.social
