Publishing Ideas That Shape the Human Conversation
We publish authors from across the world and at every career stage. Our lists include single-author monographs, edited collections, and thematically curated series led by experts in their fields. We actively welcome manuscripts that explore local or under-represented perspectives, or that cross disciplinary and cultural boundaries.
Our goal is not uniformity but plurality—a publishing culture in which multiple voices, languages, and methodologies coexist. This inclusivity extends beyond authorship to readership: through both print and digital distribution, we ensure that our books reach diverse global audiences, including libraries, universities, and individual readers in more than eighty countries.
Each book begins with a conversation. Authors submit proposals through a transparent review process where scholarly merit, originality, and relevance to our interdisciplinary mission are key. Approved projects move through stages of review, editorial refinement, and design, supported by a team of editors, copyeditors, and designers dedicated to producing works of lasting quality.
Our design philosophy is simple: clarity, precision, and beauty in service of thought. We aim to publish books that are not only intellectually rigorous but also visually and materially engaging—objects that honor the labor of scholarship.
We are deeply committed to making knowledge accessible. Authors may choose to publish through traditional or Hybrid Open Access models, ensuring that their research can circulate as widely as possible. Our open access policy is founded on equity: access to ideas should not be limited by institutional or economic barriers.
Each year we honor outstanding works with the Publishers Prize, awarded to authors and series editors whose books demonstrate exceptional scholarship, originality, and social impact. These titles exemplify our core values: a commitment to equality, sustainability, and the transformative potential of knowledge.
Past winners have advanced conversations in education, the arts, cultural studies, design, media, and social theory—continuing our tradition of publishing works that influence both scholarly discourse and public understanding.
