Welcome to the Publications Office
The Boise State University Publications Office in the College of Social Sciences and Public Affairs specializes in colorful books of nonfiction popular scholarship about Idaho and the American West.
We believe we can light the lamp of knowledge—the traditional role of a university press—with a variety of formats suitable for a diverse, inquisitive, contemporary audience. Our focus is regional publications for the general reader. All publications are colorfully illustrated, accessibly written, and peer reviewed.
The publications office is housed in the College of Social Sciences and Public Affairs under the supervision of Todd Shallat, Melissa Lavitt, and Mark Rudin. Professor Shallat, a Ph.D. in history and applied social science, serves as editor-in-chief. For editorial matters, contact Professor Shallat at tshalla@boisestate.edu; (208) 761-0485.
