Three Volume Series with Polity

On 27 June 2024, Theory & Society - the third and final volume of a new series of books with Polity - was published featuring hitherto unknown or rarely available writings by Zygmunt Bauman from the Bauman Archive.

All three volumes were translated by Katarzyna Bartoszynska, and edited by Institute members Dariusz Brzezinski, Tom Campbell, Mark Davis and Jack Palmer
