LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

As the world has slowly reopened in the wake of the global pandemic, we at the Press continue to integrate virtual with physical and in-person presence. We are excited to be cultivating new and ongoing initiatives and partnerships in our books, journals, internships, and public programming.

Our two publishing symposia were again presented virtually, with sessions on accessible writing and targeted marketing for audiences beyond the Academy; as well as a pair of sessions considering best practices for anti-bias and antiracist research and publication. In addition to broadening our audience, virtual presentation translates into high quality video resources that are of ongoing benefit to prospective authors and others.

The launch of the Scholarly Publishing Collective, a journals platform hosted by Duke University Press, brings new visibility and marketing energy to UI Press journals. We are proud to be founding partners in this new go-to resource for journals scholarship. Our own journals stable continues to grow, with the Journal of Finnish Studies and Italian Americana coming on during the 2022 fiscal year. Each of these represents partnerships that anchor us more firmly in the community of scholarly publishers and in areas of importance to the Press and our University.

Other partnerships also bring new synergies. We partnered with the Prairie Research Institute, housed at UIUC, in publishing a definitive and spectacular guide to reptiles and amphibians of Illinois; and with the American Institute of Architects Chicago in publishing its updated, authoritative guide to the city. Partnerships with the National Women’s Studies Association and the Labor and Working Class History Association support UI Press’s publication of the highest quality first books in their respective fields.

UI Press was awarded a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities of a whisker under $200,000 to support materials and staff needed to expand our catalog of e-books. NEH also provided grants to publish open access editions of two UI Press books whose research and writing were supported by earlier NEH fellowships.

We are delighted to welcome seven new staff members to departments across the Press, including acquisitions, manuscript editorial, marketing, journals, and IT. Our student roster also remains robust, with interns in marketing and business, as well as our signature ’Round the Press internship program.

You can find out more about all these programs in the following pages as well as on our brand new website: https://www.press.uillinois.edu/. We look forward to your visit!

Sincerely, Laurie Matheson, DMA

ABOUT THE PRESS

Established in 1918, the University of Illinois Press publishes seventy new books per year and forty-two humanities and social science journals. The Press invests in the tools and practices of responsible pub lishing. We work with scholars to deploy their research in the service of a more nuanced understand ing of the past and present; and we market and disseminate this transformative scholarship to local, national, and global audiences. We hold scholarly publishing to be an essential component of the active, applied cultural literacy required by a healthy democracy. It provides a launching pad for discussion, engagement, and activism. It provides tools for interrogating power structures and tools of oppression. It shines a light on histories of oppression and injustice, resistance and protest, organizing and commu nity building. The Press is proud to serve the state and University of Illinois and the broader scholarly community in advancing the twin goals of scholarly communication and an informed citizenry.

UIP Expands Its Outreach

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS PRESS PUBLISHING SYMPOSIUM

During the 2021–2022 academic year, the University of Illinois Press continued its series of publishing symposia. The twice-annual events bring together industry professionals, authors, and scholars to discuss aspects of academic publishing. Each symposium featured a pair of 50-minute panels and each reached over 150 participants. Both the Fall and Sping symposia remained online due to the ongoing pandemic.

Joanna Groden, Vice Chancellor for Research at UIC, and Avijit Ghosh, Interim Executive Vice President and Vice President for Academic Affairs at UIUC, gave welcoming remarks at the fall 2021 and spring 2022 symposia, respectively. Cosponsors of the symposia: the UIC Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Institute for the Humanities; the UIUC Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs; the UIUC Humanities Research Institute; and the UIUC Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation.

FALL PUBLISHING SYMPOSIUM: TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2021

Session 1: Beyond the Monograph

Panelists: Elena Rebeca Gutiérrez (chair), associate professor in gender and women’s studies and Latin American and Latino studies at the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) and member of the Press faculty board; Zizi Papacharissi, professor and head of the Communication Department and professor of political science at UIC; Nadine Naber, professor in the Gender and Women’s Studies Program and Global Asian Studies Program at UIC; Robert Johnson, professor of history and director of the Teaching of History Program at UIC.

The opening session offered advice on how academics can connect with non-scholarly audiences through their writing and other work. The panelists discussed how to take advantage of media outlets, including social media, to reach new readers and amplify their work; write in other genres; and the influence of new media forms of communication on academic work today.

Panelists: Michelle Sybert (chair), assistant director and head of marketing, sales, and development at the University of Notre Dame Press; Martyn Beeny, marketing and sales director at Cornell University Press; Jocelyn Dawson, journals and collections marketing manager at Duke University Press.

In the publishing session, a group of marketers delved into how they have adjusted to constant changes in market conditions. They provided examples from their experiences finding new platforms and audiences for academic books and journals and laid out ways authors can work with marketing departments. The panelists also examined the pandemic’s effects on the need for digital resources at academic libraries.

SPRING PUBLISHING SYMPOSIUM: TUESDAY, MAY 3, 2022

Session 1: Against the Grain: Recognizing and Countering Bias in Scholarly Research

The spring event opened with an interdisciplinary panel looking at issues focused on countering bias in research. Taking a nuts-and-bolts approach, the panelists began with how to use antiracist and inclusive frames in developing research questions and topics. The conver sation then ranged into weighing sources overlooked or discounted by traditional research methods. In discussing archives, the panelists provided advice on identifying unconventional kinds of archives and how to account for what is missing from the usual archival sources.

Panelists: Christie Henry (chair), director of Princeton University Press; Mike Baccam, acquisitions editor at the University of Washington Press; Sara Jo Cohen, senior acquiring editor at the University of Michigan Press; Dominique J. Moore, acquisitions editor at the University of Illinois Press.

UIP Books Make an Impact

This year, several UIP titles appeared in national and regional news outlets. The high-profile articles demonstrate the impact of the scholarship we publish on shaping the understanding of our world and history. Additionally, UIP authors provided critical expertise that added to our understanding of current events and cultural conversations.

Shana Goldin-Perschbacher’s book Queer Country shined a light on the contributions queer and transgender country music artists have made to the genre with interviews in Pitchfork, Southern Review of Books ; reviews in Library Jour nal, Americana UK, Gay and Lesbian Review ; and an excerpt on PopMatters. The author also hosted an hour-long program on BBC Radio 6 about queer country.

Ayana Contreras’s book Energy Never Dies: Afro-Optimism and Creativity in Chicago used the power of storytelling to show how optimism and courage fuel the dreams of Black Chicago. The book was the subject of interviews on WBEZ The Reset, WILL The 21st, WTTW Chicago Tonight, and in NewCityLit and the Chicago Defender; reviews in the Chicago Reader and Chicago Magazine; excerpts in Literary Hub and Belt Magazine; and a feature in the Chicago Tribune

Wazhmah Osman, author of Television and the Afghan Culture Wars: Brought to You by Foreigners, Warlords, and Activists, contributed her expertise and insight after the crisis in Afghanistan in the summer of 2021 with an op-ed in the Washington Post Made by History section. The op-ed was picked up by twenty-five other papers around the country, and Osman was interviewed on NPR’s Weekend Edition

Ray Long’s political biography of former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan, The House that Madigan Built: The Record Run of Illinois’ Velvet Hammer, arrived just as news broke about Madigan’s federal indictment. The author did dozens of interviews, from WTTW’s Chicago Tonight and NPR’s Illinois State Week to WBUR’s Here and Now. An Associated Press article on the book ran in more than eighty regional and national outlets. An excerpt ran in the Chicago Tribune, and reviews of the book appeared in Washington Monthly, the News Gazette, Illinois Times, The Pantagraph, and NewCity. Dick Simpson’s book, Democracy’s Rebirth: The View from Chicago, called for a revival of our nation’s democracy with interviews in the Chicago Tribune, Chicago Reader, WTTW’s Chicago Tonight, WBEZ’s The Reset, Le Monde, WGN, WLS, the Chicago Sun-Times, CBS Chicago, and an event with Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot at the Chicago Public Library.

Journals Highlights

Scholarly Publishing Collective Launches

New Journal Hosting Platform

The University of Illinois Press, along with other top rated uni versity presses, has joined the Scholarly Publishing Collective, hosted by Duke University Press.

“We look forward to working with our colleagues at Duke University Press in this proactive and visionary initiative.”

By partnering with the SPC, we are excited to be working with a state-of-the-art platform that offers an intuitive interface, full-text HTML and PDF reading formats, and robust supple mental content hosting opportunities, along with the library relations networks and agents that will help our journal titles succeed in a competitive marketplace. The University of Illinois Press is proud to be part of a collective with other UPs that will help extend university press content to greater audiences.

NEW IN OUR JOURNALS PROGRAM

Our Internship Program

INTERNS AT WORK

UIP’s interns contribute to all areas of the Press. In 2021–2022, this work included essential help with the Press’s new NEH-funded e-books program (see the next page). Interns Jesus Chavez, Ashley Miller, Eyitemi Omatsola, and Gabriella Trani assisted UIP’s Angela Burton with securing rights and permissions and performing other tasks. A number of these e-books have already entered the production process.

Spotlight: NEH Grant and Backlist

Of the more than 2500 books in print from the University of Illinois Press, only a portion are currently available as e-books. As the global pandemic lockdown made clear, resources available only in print form have limited to no accessibil ity for many readers.

In October, 2021, UIP received a grant of $199,794 from the National Endow ment for the Humanities to expand its e-books program. These funds will enable UIP to add 200 titles to its e-books list. The funding provides support for:

• Salaries for staff and student workers;

• Permissions fees to reproduce rights-protected material in e-book form;

• Scanning and cleanup of electronic files;

• Addition of alt-text descriptions of illustrations to aid print-impaired readers;

• Converting books to various e-book formats;

• Promoting our expanded e-book catalog.

Director Laurie Matheson developed the grant proposal, in collaboration with Press staff Michael Roux, Kris Ding, Jennifer Comeau, Angela Burton, and Tamara Shidlauski, and with Maria Gillombardo in the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation at UIUC.

The proposal went through a rigorous vetting process at the University of Illinois before moving forward to NEH as the sole representative of the UI System. Angela Burton is the principal investigator for the project, ensuring that we have rights and permissions to proceed with e-book publication, while Tamara Shidlauski coordinates scanning, conversion, and production. Kristina Stonehill leads promotion for the initiative.

Student workers Jesus Chavez, Ashley Miller, Eyitemi Omatsola, and Gabriella Trani provide additional support.

NEH Fellowships Open Books Award

The Press is taking part in the NEH Fellowships Open Books Program. This initiative provides funding to university presses to publish open access books of recent scholarship that were developed as part of a prior NEH fellowship. In 2021, the UIP title Photographic Presidents, by Cara A. Finnegan, was among the winners. Transforming Women’s Education, by Jewel A. Smith, was one of the first twelve awardees in 2020.

The program awards a publisher $5,500 per book to support digitization and marketing for the title and provide a royalty for the author. The NEH will announce the next round of winning projects in March 2023.

Spotlight: Publishing Partnerships

National Women’s Studies Association/University of Illinois Press First Book Prize

Since 2011, the National Women’s Studies Association and the Press have partnered to award the NWSA/UIP First Book Prize to the best dissertation or first book manuscript by a single author in the field of women’s and gender studies.

The nonfiction projects exemplify groundbreaking intersectional feminist scholarship. While open to scholars from all disciplinary backgrounds, the sponsors encourage interdisciplinary work and new perspectives.

Recent winners include SeungGyeong (Jade) Ji (2021), Meztli Yoalli Rodríguez Aguilera (2021), and Shamara Wyllie Alhassan (2019). In late 2022, the Press will publish The Sexual Politics of Empire by 2015 winner Erin L. Durban. The following spring, we will publish Care Activism, by 2014 winner Ethel Tungohan, and Gender, Race, and Performance Space, by 2017 winner Nicosia M. Shakes. The three titles will be the latest releases in the UIP series NWSA/University of Illinois Press First Book Prize. Dominique J. Moore acquires books in the series.

Herbert G. Gutman Prize

Since 2008, the Labor and Working Class History Association (LAWCHA) has awarded the Herbert G. Gutman Prize for Outstanding Dissertation in U.S. Labor and Working-Class History. The projects chosen for the award reflect the sponsors’ dedication to the study of working people and their lives. In addition to promoting a diverse and cross-cultural understanding of labor history, the award looks for innovative, theoretically informed, and interdisciplinary approaches.

The Gutman Prize was established in partnership with UIP. Acceptance of the Prize entails publication in the Press’s Working Class in American History series. A list of past award winners is here: http://www.lawcha.org/grants-prizes/ Alison Syring acquires books in the series.

Acquisitions editor Alison Syring secured the Press’s first grant from Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem (TOME). The funding, along with support from University of Colorado Boulder Libraries, permits the open access publication of Vilja Hulden’s new 2023 release The Bosses’ Union. Open access allows any interested reader to download the book for free.

The Association of American Universities, the Association of Research Libraries, and the Association of University Presses have created TOME in 2017. With TOME, the organizations committed to finding a more sustainable way of meeting the costs of publishing scholarly books. Participating colleges and universities commit to providing baseline grants of $15,000 to support the publication of open access books. UIP is one of the more than 60 university presses involved.
