UP Week: WHY does your press #TeamUp?
Happy University Press Week! Help us celebrate university presses November 10-14. Since 2012, members of the Association of University Presses have participated in an annual celebration of University Presses. This year's theme for UP Week is "Team UP," to celebrate the ways that university presses and their authors Team UP with a vast network of reviewers, booksellers, freelancers, translators, librarians, teachers, and students to advance knowledge and understanding.

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive
And do it often.

On the 84th anniversary of Operation Barbarossa, I am reminded that throughout history, madmen at the helm with delusions of grandeur pay the costs of their blind ambition with the lives of both vocal supporters and those resisters dragged along along for the ride in equal measure.
