Matt Rohal
Associate Editor (Higher Education & Skills for Scholars)
The Princeton University Press education list highlights higher education and features works by economists, historians, and other scholars from the social sciences and humanities. Originating in the early 1990s, the list initially foregrounded the works of the late former Princeton president William G.
