Join the Ideas on Fire team
About usOur mission: helping scholars change the world
We are an academic editing and indexing agency helping interdisciplinary, progressive academics write and publish awesome texts, enliven public conversations, and create more just worlds.
We know the most important political, social, and economic change happens at the intersections of diverse social justice movements and intellectual traditions.
Interdisciplinary scholarship is always tied to the artistic and activist communities from which it springs and to which it is accountable.
We help authors write and publish powerful interdisciplinary scholarship that shapes better worlds.
