University Press Week 2023

University Press Week 2023 provides an opportunity for presses and their supporters to shout to the rooftops about the value of the essential work of university presses: giving voice to the scholarship and ideas that shape conversations around the world. Through a variety of publications and platforms, university presses and their authors cultivate and amplify a diverse, inclusive, and exhilarating range of research and concepts. 

This year, the members of the Association of University Presses (AUPresses) have chosen #SpeakUP as the theme for the week to celebrate university press work that amplifies thought-provoking concepts, new points of view, and ideas that advocate for social change.

Blog Tour

Be sure to check out the UP Week blog tour, where everyday university presses will explore the #SpeakUP theme with blog posts from staff members, authors, booksellers, and other partners.
