Call for Proposals – Agenda for Social Justice: Solutions for 2028

The Justice 21 Committee is currently working on Agenda for Social Justice: Solutions for 2028 – a U.S.-focused volume that intentionally coincides with the Presidential election. The publication is designed to provide accessible insights into some of the most pressing social problems and proposes practicable public policy responses to those problems.

Please review the Call for Chapter Proposals and the Guidelines for Contributors, and submit your 1 to 2-page proposal using the Google Form by October 30, 2026. Chapter drafts will be due April 9, 2027, and final manuscripts will be due August 20, 2027. Final contributions will be limited to 3000 words maximum (or roughly ten double-spaced manuscript pages). The volume is expected to launch in August 2028. If you have any questions, please direct them to Dr. David C. Lane, Justice 21 Committee Chair, at dclane1@ilstu.edu.
