Ideally, books published within the Series should be timely (i.e., on the cutting edge of pressing issues), integrative (i.e., offering a comprehensive look at a given area informed by multiple vantage points), and generative (i.e., providing a platform on which future research and practice pursuits can build). These three criteria will inform which projects are approved as well as publishing priorities from year to year.
An overarching goal is to create a “go to” series for a wide audience including students, practitioners, researchers, community members, and policy makers interested in advances in understanding complex social issues, innovative social interventions, and other approaches to bringing about positive forms of social change in individuals, organizations, communities and public policy.
