Since its founding in 1941, UNP has published more than 100 Nebraska faculty works, and its current book list includes 45 faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith its strong and enduring presence in Native American and Indigenous Studies as well as the American West, UNP has been such a great fit for me,\u201d said Margaret Jacobs, Chancellor\u2019s Professor of History. UNP published all three of Jacobs\u2019 books, including \u201cWhite Mother to a Dark Race\u201d (2011), which won the Bancroft Prize, the Athearn Book Award and the Armitage-Jameson Prize. Jacobs also works with UNP as editor of the New Visions in Native American and Indigenous Studies book series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In 2019, Jacobs was the first female faculty member at Nebraska selected for membership in the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and in 2018 was the first Nebraska professor to receive a Carnegie Fellowship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
UNP has long published the Prairie Schooner<\/em>, the university\u2019s nationally recognized literary journal, and, since 2004, the winners of the Prairie Schooner<\/em> Book Prize. Kwame Dawes inherited this longstanding relationship when he became Prairie Schooner<\/em> editor. Dawes, Chancellor\u2019s Professor of English and Glenna Luschei Editor of Prairie Schooner<\/em>, said the publishing partnership has strengthened the journal\u2019s impact over the years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In 2019, Dawes earned the Windham-Campbell Prize for his poetry and the universitywide Outstanding Research and Creative Activity Award. He spearheads the African Poetry Book Fund, which has published 17 books with UNP, a collaboration that established UNP as a leading publisher in African poetry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe UNP team \u2026 has proven to be a thoughtful, adventuresome and professional partner that epitomizes the kind of collaborations that are possible,\u201d Dawes said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Partnerships are critical in successfully sharing research and scholarship.
