Temple University Press seeks proposals for its renowned urban studies list, including books on housing, gentrification, planning, downtown development, urban history, urban environmental and sustainability studies, urban politics, local and regional government, and more.

The Press is proud to offer the Zane L. Miller Book Development Award. Scholars from underrepresented communities with limited financial resources are invited to apply for this grant of up to $2500 to help defray expenses related to the development of an urban studies-focused book manuscript. Awardees will work directly with one of the editors of our Urban Life, Landscape, and Policy book series to craft their manuscript.

To schedule a meeting with our acquisitions editor at the 2023 Urban Affairs Association Conference or more information about the Miller award, please contact Temple University Press Editor-in-Chief Aaron Javsicas: aaron.javsicas@temple.edu.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR RAFFLE WINNERS! Loretta Lees and Meg Rubado
