Founded in 1969, Temple University
Press chose as its inspiration Russell Conwell's activist vision of this
university as a place of educational opportunity for the urban working
class. The Press is perhaps best known as publisher of books in the social
sciences and humanities that address social justice issues.
Temple books are primarily directed to an academic audience, including
students, although the Press also has a strong regional list for a general
readership and insists that even academic books be as widely accessible as
possible. Temple's editorial program has concentrated on a fairly stable
list of academic disciplines.
