Philosophy Across Borders (new series at Oxford University Press)

This is a guest blog post announcement by Amy Olberding, President's Associates Presidential Professor, University of Oklahoma 

I’m one of the co-editors on a new series OUP is initiating and wanted to reach out here in particular to make clear that we welcome proposal submissions from younger, less established philosophers.  One goal is to promote novel approaches to philosophy through work that is less constricted by the standard or more traditional boundaries and I’m hopeful that newer philosophers may be more adept at that, as well as interested. 

SERIES ANNOUNCEMENT

Oxford University Press is seeking submissions of proposals for a new series:  Philosophy Across Borders.  OUP is committed to publishing high quality philosophical work that draws on broad sourcing to create novel philosophy or novel approaches to recognized problems, methodologies, or approaches.  The hope is that books in the series will exhibit conversation between traditions or cultural sources not often engaged together.  This might include, e.g., engagement between underrepresented traditions and more widely studied western sources, but it could also include work that engages multiple underrepresented traditions not often engaged together.  The goal is not to re-create comparative philosophy, but to provide accessible philosophical work that simply does philosophy in an idiom that is open and global.  If you have a proposal for the series, please contact any of the series editors below or the OUP editor, Peter Ohlin.
