Postwestern Horizons
Books in the series rethink and reimagine traditional western scholarship by challenging predominant paradigms, including revisionist ones, and dislocating our sense of region.

Provocations
Similar in its aim to the manifesto, the pamphlet, or the essay, the Provocations series takes a strong stand on contemporary debates and issues within the humanities.

Frontiers of Narrative
This series features interdisciplinary scholarship on narrative as it appears in a range of media and across cultural and historical settings.

At Table
Books in this series expand and enrich the ever-changing discussion of food politics, nutrition, the cultural and sociological significance of eating, sustainability, agriculture, and the business of food.

Our Sustainable Future
The series’ aim is to develop and publish new interdisciplinary books on sustainability issues including agriculture, energy, public policy, development, resource efficiency, and other topics.
