Editorial Advisor

Matthew B. Crawford is a Senior Fellow at the University of Virginia’s Institute for Advanced Studies in Culture and a New York Times bestselling author. He studied physics as an undergraduate, then the history of political thought (Ph.D., University of Chicago). His books include Shop Class as Soulcraft: An Inquiry Into the Value of Work; The World Beyond Your Head: On Becoming an Individual in an Age of Distraction; and Why We Drive: Toward a Philosophy of the Open Road. His shorter writings have appeared in First Things, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the New Atlantis, the Hedgehog Review, the Sunday Times (of London), Le Figaro, Le Monde, Esprit, Unherd, Compact, and at his Substack, Archedelia.

N.b. Editorial Advisors are just that: advisors. We’re awfully proud to be able to pick their brains, but they bear no responsibility for, and most certainly do not necessarily endorse, the books published by Creed & Culture.
