Duke University Press supports scholars in doing what they are passionate about: learning, teaching, and effecting positive change in the world. This bold, progressive spirit drives both what and how we publish. Each year we publish about 150 new books, around 60 journals, and multiple digital collections that transform current thinking and move fields forward. Our work supports Duke University’s mission to advance the frontiers of knowledge and contribute to the international community of scholarship.

We exist to share the ideas of bold, progressive thinkers and support emerging and vital fields of scholarship. We thrive as a nonprofit publisher because we adapt, innovate, and form strong global partnerships. It is our mission to find, curate, enrich, and disseminate scholarship that is vital to readers working at the forefront of their fields in the humanities, social sciences, and mathematics.
