ABOUT THE PRESS
Founded in 1969, Temple University Press was an early publisher of books in urban studies, housing and labor studies, organizational reform, social service reform, public religion, health care, and cultural studies. It became one of the first university presses to publish in what later became the fields of women's studies and ethnic studies, including Asian American, Latino, and African American studies. The Press publishes award-winning titles in those areas as well as in political science, disability studies, criminology, gender and sexual identity, and sport and society. In addition, Temple is the premiere publisher of books on Philadelphia and the region.
All projects taken under formal consideration undergo a rigorous process of initial editorial screening, peer review, staff evaluation, and faculty committee approval. Please read our
