Thank you for your patience. We have restored grace access for institutional customers of our humanities and social sciences books and journals through read.dukeupress.edu. Content for 2018, as well as back content available through term access, is currently available for 2018 customers.

We sincerely apologize for the interruption in access.

Our current grace access policy allows institutions 90 days of complimentary access while Duke University Press receives and processes payments.

We have discovered an issue with authenticating grace access for institutional customers of our humanities and social sciences books and journals through read.dukeupress.edu. Content for 2018, as well as back content available through term access, is not currently available for 2018 customers.

We sincerely apologize for the interruption in access. We will be in touch again once access has been fully restored.

If you have questions, please email platformqueries@dukeupress.edu.
