Call for Papers: The Special Issue 2019 ICA Review of International Cooperation
Cooperative enterprises involve diverse groups of individuals gathering and working toward a common goal. Research has shown that this diversity of voices, backgrounds, and perspectives comes with challenges, but can also be a significant strength for cooperatives. This cooperative advantage can be maximized in cases where governance structures enable inclusive and meaningful engagement from members.
In this Special Issue of the International Co-operative Alliance Review of International Cooperation, the Canadian Association for Studies in Co-operation (CASC) will reflect upon the interplay of diversity, inclusion, and social justice with cooperative enterprises in Canada and beyond. Guest editors of the Special Issue are Fiona Duguid, Sara Elder, Isobel Findlay, Judith Harris, and Derya Tarhan.
Papers are welcomed from scholars, students, researchers, and practitioners submitted before December 1st, 2018. Papers should not exceed 8,000 words. Paper template and referencing should follow the APA style guide. All papers are subject to peer review. Please submit your paper online using this link.
For inquiries, please contact casc.acec@usask.ca
