I seek and commission books on world religions, classics, and ancient history that appeal to a general intellectual audience as well as to scholars. I welcome books on religion written from diverse disciplinary backgrounds on a wide array of topics. Proposals organized around the following themes are especially welcome: religion in an era of globalization, religion and conflict, religious diasporas, fundamentalisms, ideas of secularism, communal violence and genocide, American immigrant cultures, religion and popular culture. In the classics (including Hellenic, Roman, and Byzantine studies), I am interested in cross-cultural transactions in the ancient world, new geographical orientations, and influences of the classical world on more recent eras.
