The Association of University Presses (AUPresses) has launched a pilot program that seeks to deepen transnational dialogue and collaboration among mission-driven scholarly publishers. The AUPresses Global Partner Program will pair member presses with non-member presses in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and Latin America, aiming not only to amplify the work of presses in the ‘Global South’ but also to expand the knowledge base of the university press community worldwide.
During the program’s pilot year, African Minds from South Africa will partner with Duke University Press from the United States, and Makerere University Press from Uganda will partner with Liverpool University Press from the United Kingdom.
The Association will also offer a variety of members-only benefits to the non-member partners during the year-long term, including access to its online resource library and discussion fora; subscriptions to its monthly Bulletin; admittance to professional development webinars; and one complimentary registration to attend its annual meeting and member registration rates for additional attendees.
