When you can buy a book on the same website as a pair of sneakers, it's easy to forget the work of presses.

Publishing isn't just about any single book; it's about building conversations and community over time.

Thank you, First Things, for this salute to @oupress.bsky.social & university presses!

It says a lot when Times Higher Education (@timeshighered.bsky.social) casually cites a book as a relevant authority—

So I appreciate the nod here to "The Opposite of Cheating: Teaching for Integrity in the Age of AI" by Tricia Bertram Gallant & David Rettinger from @oupress.bsky.social!
Managing student risk AI-version
Could a safe space to experiment with using artificial intelligence to complete an assessment offer students a path to both deeper learning and AI proficiency?

"Long may university presses thrive: large, medium, small, the whole caboodle! Buy a university press book this week." Not often do we find ourselves at a loss for words, but John Wilson for First Things Magazine managed to leave us a little speechless. 🫶 firstthings.com/cherokee-cor...
