As a university press editor with over eight years of experience list building and list-managing several multi-million dollar publishing programs—particularly in philosophy, political theory, politics and law—Matt Rohal has established a unique, savvy, and entrepreneurial style to book publishing and has developed an impressive portfolio of books at the forefront of scholarship, with an emphasis on books of general intellectual and global interest. At Princeton University Press, Matt is a leader in developing new and exciting acquisitions and publishing visions, for a new list called Skills for Scholars, a list he is co-leading the development of with former PUP Director and current Editor-at-Large, Peter J. Dougherty. The series is intended to expand PUP's preeminent tradition of publishing first-rate scholarship for a general and global audience.
