Welcome to the MIP Blog and University Press Week!

Welcome to University Press Week 2022, an annual celebration of excellence in university press publishing! Each year the Association of University Presses (AUPresses), of which MIP is proud to be a member press, recognizes the impact of the global community of university presses through events, featured UP work, blog tours and more. This year MIP will be taking part in UP Week 2022, the theme of which is Next UP, by releasing new blog posts each day of the week and being part of the UP Week 2022 Blog Tour—and we thought that the perfect way to open UP Week 2022 would be to launch the official MIP blog, "Multidisciplinary, International, Premodern: The MIP Blog."

Check back here throughout the week for a special series of posts on what's #NextUP at MIP:
