UBC Press is committed to fostering an inclusive publishing environment. To provide a platform for voices that might otherwise go unheard, we strive to empower underrepresented authors and create opportunities for a diverse publishing workforce. As one of Canada’s leading publishers in the social sciences, we work with authors to bring cutting-edge ideas to an international audience of scholars and general readers, publishing in Indigenous studies, Asian studies, gender and sexuality studies, disability studies, and transnationalism and migration studies. We acknowledge our duty – both as a press and as part of the larger UBC community – to proactively address systemic barriers in publishing and to cultivate participation and a sense of belonging in our industry. Ultimately, we recognize that narrative is one of the most powerful engines through which much-needed change is effected.
