"When any administration announces its intention to shutter a press, it’s basically abdicating its responsibility to the network that supports the scholarly production of its own faculty as well as scholars everywhere." - Peter Berkery, @aupresses.bsky.social
Letter | University Presses Face a Free Rider Problem
Colleges that close their presses are taking advantage of the system, writes Peter Berkery.

In honor of #UPWeek, we've partnered with @mcgillqueensup.bsky.social to explore how food shapes identity across borders.

Nothing says NYC like pastrami on rye from Katz's, but did you know Montreal has its own take on the Jewish deli tradition?

Learn about that here:

This is an excellent piece from @georgianndavis.bsky.social on the wave of anti-scientific censorship sweeping the country and what it means to teach honestly in the moment.
