Columbia University Press, in collaboration with Howard University’s College of Arts and Sciences and Columbia's Department of African American and African Diaspora Studies, is launching a new Black studies book series, with additional plans to recruit students for careers in the publishing industry. Co-director of the Pacific Climate Circuits working group, Kevin Fellezs, and co-director of the Toward an Intellectual History of Black Women, Farah Jasmine Griffin, will be two of the four editorial board members representing Columbia in this historic collaboration.
