UP Week: WHY does your pressΒ #TeamUp? Happy University Press Week! Help us celebrate university presses November 10-14. Since 2012, members of the Association of University Presses have participated in an annual celebration of University Presses. This year's theme for UP Week is "Team UP," to celebrate the ways that university presses and their authors Team UP with a vast network of reviewers, booksellers, freelancers, translators, librarians, teachers, and students to advance knowledge and understanding.

Today's UP Week blog tour asks "WHY does your press #TeamUP?"

On the blog, @jacobflaws.bsky.social, author of SPACES OF TREBLINKA, discusses the importance of accessible scholarly work in our current media ecosystem.

I am holding the exciting brand new history of DC punk by John R Davis, Keep Your Ear to the Ground, large format paperback with tons of full-color photos, published by Georgetown University Press. Cover design is red and black text on a white background, just like my Dead Kennedys T-shirt (not in this photo but I should have worn it). Next to it is a view of the ocean from my run.
