The University of Arizona Press
May 19, 2020
In March in response to stay-at-home orders to slow the spread of COVID-19 the University of Arizona Press quickly and nimbly shifted focus from in-person to digital events.
We dove into the world of Zoom and live-stream events with our authors across the country. We hosted a series of conversations with our authors, where they shared their poetry, scholarship, and insights into how they crafted their work. If you didn’t have a chance to join us for our panels and conversations, here’s a rundown, really a virtual online celebration of what we love most–books and scholars:
Xicanx And Latinx Spiritual Expressions And Healing During COVID-19:
A Conversation With Norma Elia Cantú:
Five Questions with Guadalupe Correa-Cabrera and Victor Konrad:
Mapping Our Hearts: A Virtual Poetry Reading with Three Sun Tracks Poets:
Virtual Book Panel Brings Together Science Be Dammed Authors:
A Conversation With Diné Scholar Lloyd L. Lee:
Additionally, our authors have also shared with us their own content, videos, and podcasts: Simón Trujillo, Andrew Flachs, Stephen Pyne, Frederick Aldama, Ilan Stavans, Christopher González, Isabel Molina-Guzmán, Paul M. Worley, Rita M. Palacios, Carwil Bjork-James, and Molly McGlennen.
We are already planning for our next season. Take a look at our Fall 2020 catalog here. We can’t wait to continue our important work, connecting our authors with readers.
