Brandeis University Press is a university press supported by Brandeis University, a private research university in Waltham, Massachusetts. It publishes a wide range of academic titles as well as trade books.
The press was originally founded in 1971 as an imprint of the University Press of New England publishing consortium, but following the consortium's disbanding in 2018, Brandeis University Press was relaunched in 2019 as a separate publisher.[1][2] Brandeis University Press is distributed by The Chicago Distribution Center.[1]
Brandeis University Press is perhaps best known for its books that focus on Jewish studies,[3][4] and they have recently began to specialize in books that focus on New England[5], as well as the Environment and Nature[6].[7] In 2021, Brandeis University Press secured the rights to the University Press of New England's catalog of past publications, and in 2023 they acquired Dartmouth College Press.[8][7][9]
Moreover, Brandeis University Press fosters the growth of humanities, arts, and the social, natural, and physical sciences while upholding the principles of social justice, cultural diversity, and intellectual integrity.
Upholding the highest standards of academic excellence, inclusiveness, and diversity in their publishing endeavors, BUP reinforce Brandeis University’s commitment to education, research, and civic engagement.[2]
