Call for Chapter Proposals for the Agenda for Social Justice Project 2020

SSSP and the Justice 21 Committee are now beginning to work on the sixth iteration of the publication-- Agenda for Social Justice: Solutions 2020.  This project affirms the commitment of the SSSP to social justice scholarship, and enables members of the SSSP to communicate publicly on significant social issues in the United States.
