Joseph Pomp

Editor for Critical Theory, Politics, Current Events

“I am acquiring books that break new ground in politics, critical theory, and cultural studies as well as those that offer original viewpoints on current events. I have recently signed authors writing about Native Americans and the Constitution, protests in Hong Kong, and our failing public schools. In all fields, I look for projects tackling political and philosophical questions with an international perspective. In critical theory, I seek both innovative new book projects and influential texts that have yet to appear in English.”
