Duration: 60 minutes
What’s an industry scandal or two between friends … or rivals? In celebration of its centenary, Australia’s oldest university publisher, Melbourne University Press, lifts the lid on … itself? This session covers the highs, lows—and the very point—of a university press, along with some triumphs and controversies specific to MUP. Shhh! This session is ‘in the cone’.
