Medieval Institute Publications partners with De Gruyter
KALAMAZOO, Mich.鈥擜 leading academic publishing house has been selected to partner with Medieval Institute Publications, a unit housed within 澳门六合彩官网直播's College of Arts and Sciences that is the publishing arm of its Medieval Institute.
An official partnership agreement between MIP and De Gruyter, an international publisher headquartered in Berlin, will take effect immediately.
The agreement comes on the heels of recent growth in the number of titles MIP produces in late antiquity, medieval and early modern literature. The partnership will allow MIP to expand its niche publishing market in these areas significantly over the coming years, while also developing new areas of publication.
"We are pleased to enter this new partnership with De Gruyter and look forward to expanding MIP's international presence," says Dr. Jana Schulman, director of the Medieval Institute.
"The new partnership will allow MIP to continue its mission of promoting humanistic study, inquiry and discourse through an ambitious worldwide publication program," adds Theresa Whitaker, co-editor-in-chief of MIP.
The benefits of the partnership are twofold. De Gruyter gains from MIP's experience and reputation in the field of medieval studies and MIP benefits from De Gruyter's extensive global reach and advanced mechanisms for marketing and production.
Over the years, MIP has become known for quality publications focusing on what it means to be human through the ages, particularly emphasizing literature and literary culture, lived experience, and art, music and drama.
"We are delighted to be able to work with MIP to ensure that valuable content in medieval studies is more broadly accessible to researchers across the globe," says Tom Clark, vice president, humanities and social sciences at De Gruyter. "With existing De Gruyter medieval studies titles, the partnership will also lead to a substantial collection of high-quality content that academics and librarians can find in one place."
MIP continues to seek submissions from scholars in its existing areas of expertise for consideration of future publication. Additionally, the partnership will allow both organizations to develop new areas of publication, reach new readership and build on 澳门六合彩官网直播's international reputation for excellence in the humanities.
