"There's a thin line between knowledge sharing and knowledge production, or protection, and [the] dilemma of upholding the intellectual rights versus making knowledge widely available to everybody"

Writing Studies scholars! Are you attending this? If so, say hi to our editor / reach out to us to chat about your book ideas! #writing #writingstudies #composition #pedagogy #CCCC

Always nice to see one of our books out in the wild, especially at a #library. We spy DESIGNS UPON NATURE, a beautiful exploration of the evolution of Yellowstone National Park 👀

North America is full of monster stories: from the Jersey Devil to Slenderman to the Mothman of West Virginia. Read about them in NORTH AMERICAN MONSTERS (and keep spooky season going into November, because why not?)

Happy Halloween readers! Did you know we have a book on Slender Man and creepypasta? Well now you do...

Who doesn't love a pink book? Showing off one of our newest releases in #writingstudies! Writing groups are vital to building diverse and equitable communities and combating the isolation that can come with writing. Read all about it in WRITING GROUPS IN THE WRITING CENTER #readUP

This past year HISTORICIZING FEAR was one of our top downloaded open access eBooks, showcasing that (unfortunately) these issues are more relevant than ever. Get the PDF or ePUB here for free! upcolorado.com/university-p... #OABooks #free #ebooks #booksky

Today, on National Food Day, let's think about the rhetorics and politics of the industrial food system. In contrast, how can we build resilient local food systems that are also based in equity, and why is this more important than ever? #teamrhetoric #sustainability #foodsecurity

AI-generated "books" are flooding Amazon and other online retailers. Here is a regular reminder: Take note of who published the books you read or buy. Presses are perhaps more important than ever in helping identify trustworthy resources in a failing information ecosystem.

Adding our support to this statement. The Compact simultaneously tramples academic freedom and denigrates the humanities, both of which are essential to the work of our members and their authors.

#UAlaskaPress author Marybeth Holleman talks to Carrie Freeman about her books, Bloom Again and Among wolves, on @wrfg.bsky.social In Tune to Nature podcast! "Both books will affect you deeply" cpfreeman.podbean.com/e/bloom-agai...

In fact, we have not one, but two of #folklorist Andrea Kitta's books available to read for free. AN EPIDEMIC OF RUMORS and KISS OF DEATH, both available for download here: tinyurl.com/33sdvvdz

Worth repeating: "University presses are essential infrastructure for the humanities & should be financially supported in the same way that other higher education inter-institutional infrastructure is." Some powerful examples here:

Humanities scholars, ever thought about getting an ORCID? Here's why you should: networks.h-net.org/group/discus... #feedingtheelephant @acls1919.bsky.social @smckee-acls.bsky.social

No matter how many books we've published, it's always *the most exciting thing* getting an advance copy from the printers. Especially when the cover looks so good!

“Speak English or die.” Wow. This #BannedBooksWeek let’s also think about linguistic hegemony—what languages don’t get published & read. Lingít is an endangered language of the Tlingit people of the Pacific NW Coast. What does it sound like? Give these recordings a listen! tinyurl.com/4h4xkvwp

It's not just about what stories are banned, but what stories don't get told. I'm glad someone told this one. If not this book, there are countless other accounts of Indigenous communities existentially threatened by climate change. Go forth and read up! #BannedBooksWeek @upcolorado.bsky.social

Today we've got BLACK OR RIGHT which explores ideas of Blackness in white institutional spaces. It's theory; it's rhetoric studies; it's autoethnography. It's got it all. Including some truly haunting personal accounts of what it practically means to be a Black man on campus.

"I asked Chat GPT" Well we asked an expert and then we asked other experts in that field to review the first expert's work.

It's officially spooky season! Time for some supernatural #folklore. Have you heard of Uji no hashihime, the spurned Japanese oni (demon) who exacts Medea-like revenge on her enemies? I get it, girl. Loving this gendered critique from Noriko Reider. PS this book is free: tinyurl.com/4d4cc29f
