Celebrating Tai Edwards and Farina King: Recipients of the Association of University Presses’ StandUP Award

November 21, 2022

University presses are deeply embedded in the communities they serve. This weekend, members of the University of Kansas community gathered to celebrate Tai Edwards and Farina King, recipients of the Association of University Presses‘ StandUP Award, for their powerful advocacy on behalf of the University Press of Kansas.

Edwards and King spoke of community and reciprocity as the principles that compelled them to speak out in support of the University Press of Kansas.

We are grateful to Edwards and King for their advocacy on behalf of university presses. And we are grateful for all the authors we have the privilege of working with.  

Edwards and King spoke about community and reciprocity as the principles that motivated their advocacy efforts.
Interim Faculty Director Mike Haddock with University of Arizona Press Director Kathryn Conrad.
The University Press of Kansas was founded in 1946 and joined the Association of University Presses that same year.
The StandUP Award honors those who through their words and actions have done extraordinary work to support, defend, and celebrate the university press community.
