Meet our Sociology Editors: Shannon Kneis and Victoria Pittman
Our growing Sociology list has a global outlook featuring high-quality research across emerging and established areas in the field, such as (in)equalities and social justice, migration, gender, race and ethnicity, public sociology, and children and families.
As we explore the consequences of challenges to democracy, the environment, inequalities and intersectionality, we are keen to hear from academics undertaking important research or putting forward new theories who are looking to make an impact and build a better world with their publications. We have a number of book series bringing together our publishing in key areas which you can browse on our website.
Victoria is the Head of the Commissioning Team at BUP and also commissions books which aim to reach a wide audience, from academics across Sociology to students and general readers. She is interested in hearing from you about any scholarly trade books or accessible monographs you might be considering, including for our 21st Century Standpoints series, as well as textbook proposals.
Shannon Kneis, Commissioning Editor
Shannon commissions Sociology and Gender monographs at the Press and is looking to publish interesting and innovative work which pushes the boundaries of sociological knowledge and methods. She enjoys working collaboratively with authors, growing ideas into books we are proud to publish. Having studied Sociology at the University of Bristol, she is pleased to return to the community at Bristol and work with authors who aim to make positive impact on our society and environment.
