Books

UCL Press publishes high-quality research monographs and edited volumes, primarily for the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. Across 10 years of publishing growth, we have built particular strengths in Anthropology, Archaeology and Museum Studies, Architecture and the Built Environment, Comparative Literature, Education, History and Social Sciences. We are actively building our Law and Criminology lists and focusing new attention on our already vibrant publishing for History and Philosophy of Science. Informed by the principles and research interests at UCL, themes of social justice, community engagement, global networking and ‘disruptive thinking’ are characteristic in books across the subjects we publish. Interdisciplinarity is fostered and we encourage collaborations between scholars at different points in their career.
