Verlag Barbara Budrich

Verlag Barbara Budrich is a Germany-based academic publishing company with international distribution and offices in the UK and Canada. Founded in 2004, the independent publishing house publishes some 220 books per year and 30 academic journals. Barbara Budrich Publishers’ list of educational and social science publications in English and German represents—among others—the fields of politics, educational science/pedagogy, gender studies, social work/public policy, and sociology.

Barbara Budrich Publishers offer publishing opportunities to both emerging and experienced academics, allowing us to deliver high-standard monographs and anthologies across our relevant academic fields. With our sister company budrich academic press, we create a platform for specialized, academically oriented publications in the field of social sciences.

Albeit an academic publisher based in Germany, we are convinced that our academic fields need to converse internationally. Our main emphasis lies on quality, regardless from whence authors and publications may come. Therefore, our book list comprises many English language titles as well as German books. Furthermore, Barbara Budrich Publishers are committed to engaging a wider audience in the discussions that shape our academic fields—very many subjects of our publications invite a more general interest.
