Upcoming Issues

The next issue of Social Policy explores the potential impact of a national civic works project to rebuild the Gulf Coast region. The Winter issue also includes an article by John Atlas about the struggle over progressive politics and Ken Jacobs about the potential impact of living wage policies on Wal-Mart.

 

Social Policy is currently accepting submissions for the Spring issue.  Featured topic is "Regime Change."  After eight years of the Bush administration we will most certainly encounter a regime change following the Fall 2008 elections. As part of our partnership with the Organizers' Forum, this issue of Social Policy considers how to organize for changes on issues and foster new policies in health care, living wages, and clean energy.

 

Social Policy is interested in publishing fresh, well-researched articles documenting progressive action from the frontlines of community and labor organizing.  Complete manuscripts of 2,000-6,000 words can be emailed to Valerie Coffin at mngeditor@socialpolicy.org
