Universitas Press is an independent academic publisher based in Montreal, Canada, specializing in peer-reviewed books in the humanities and social sciences. Since our founding in 2014, we’ve earned the trust of educators, researchers, and academic institutions by publishing rigorous, accessible works that challenge conventions and support inclusive learning environments. Our mission is to make scholarly insight more meaningful and relevant by focusing on clarity, critical thinking, and cultural responsiveness.

We publish across a range of disciplines, with a strong focus on literature, cultural studies, education, and the history of ideas. Our catalog includes student-friendly editions of classics, scholarly and critical editions, thematic anthologies, and original academic monographs. Each title is developed with today’s classrooms and research communities in mind, bridging academic depth with broad readability. Universitas Press is committed to representing diverse voices and perspectives, helping reshape curricula and scholarly discourse through publications that resonate with global and multicultural audiences.

Our books are designed to do more than inform—they provoke questions, ignite dialogue, and inspire learning. With distribution across North America and beyond, and formats that include print and digital editions, our goal is to make knowledge more accessible wherever it’s needed. Whether you’re a professor designing a course, a student looking for fresh perspectives, or an independent scholar pursuing new ideas, Universitas Press is your partner in thought-provoking, forward-looking academic publishing.
