As publisher of the Polis: Fordham Series in Urban Studies, I am searching for authors in fields as diverse as American Studies, Anthropology, History, Political Science, Sociology, and Urban Studies and who can write for both academic and informed lay audiences. Our objective is to celebrate and critically assess the customary ways in which urbanites make the world reparable for themselves and the other kinds of people with whom they come into contact every day. Fordham University Press has an outstanding reputation for publishing creatively interdisciplinary work.
