Honors Alumna and History Professor Katherine Hubler, ’01, Publishes New Book on Holocaust Survivors Twenty-eight years ago, Katherine Hubler arrived at Oregon State University as a first-generation student from a small rural town, planning to major in chemistry in the still-new Honors College. By 2001, she had earned both an H.B.A in history and an H.B.S. in philosophy. Since 2013, Hubler has brought her insight and expertise back to OSU as a senior instructor of history and as the Ecampus coordinator in the School of History, Philosophy and Religion.

" [Katherine] Hubler's new book, 'Listening to Survivors,' brings first-hand Holocaust perspectives to a wider audience, making them more accessible." —Kallie Hagel, OSU Honors College

Imagine a Door: A Writer's Guide to Unlocking Your Story, Choosing a Publishing Path, and Honoring the Creative Journey A Writer's Guide to Unlocking Your Story, Choosing a Publishing Path, and Honoring the Creative Journey

Publisher Laura Stanfill's ability to create community around books is a marvelous thing. Her own new book provides insight and encouragement for all writers and publishers—it's a pep talk, toolkit, and warm hug all in one. It's also a powerful reminder of why the work we do is so important.

Take 5 minutes today to show support for Oregon Humanities, which does so much to instill a sense of connection and community in our state.

The Iconoclast How Bill Naito ’49 reshaped Portland.

"Naito was a true son of Portland. Born and raised in the city, he knew its streets and alleys, its schools and libraries, its quirks and prejudices. A relentless entrepreneur, his business was rooted in downtown Portland; he wasn’t going to let it go without a fight. " —Reed Magazine

Sudden and Surreal — The Safina Center Wildlife Protectors Fired on Kauaʻi (and everywhere else) By Safina Center Conservationist-in-Residence Hob Osterlund

“We are literally watching our democracy slip away from us.”

Amidst the thousands of federal employees fired in mass cuts are people devoting their lives to protect the #environment and #wildlife. @hobdy71.bsky.social highlights #Hawaiian #conservation workers who suddenly lost their jobs.

A sad day. I just did the same.

Good work being done by our colleagues in the OSU Library.

Such an important list of titles from UW Press. Not one of their releases—it was published by Penguin—but I'm currently reading The Literature of Japanese Incarceration, edited by @frankabe.bsky.social and Floyd Cheung. The final selection in the book is entitled "Never Again is Now."

KMHD is a Portland gem. Really enjoyed your in-depth interview with Matt. Fascinating to learn about the station's agreements with independent contractors/producers—I didn't know that was a thing in community radio.

Excited to have a new piece in the Chronicle of Higher Ed (@chronicle.com). I’ve been in so many exchanges with people who’ve never heard anything happy about university presses. So I wrote an essay to share with them.

Wonderful piece, Derek. And now on to explore Deborah Fleming's work!
