The Justice 21 Committee of the Society for the Study of Social Problems (SSSP) is currently working on the third iteration of the publication the Global Agenda for Social Justice. This iteration of the series – Global Agenda for Social Justice 3 – is the internationally-focused volume. It is designed to provide accessible insights into some of the world's most pressing social problems and proposes practicable international public policy responses to those problems.

This project affirms the resiliency and commitment of the SSSP to social justice scholarship. This volume will be a "global agenda for social justice," in that it will contain specific recommendations for action for elected officials, policy makers, and community members. This work is scheduled to be published by Policy Press, an academic publisher at the University of Bristol, UK, as a project in public sociology.

Please review the Call for Chapter Proposals and submit your 1 to 2-page proposal using the Google Form by the extended deadline: January 10, 2025. Chapter drafts will be due April 14, 2025, and final manuscripts will be due September 01, 2025. Final contributions will be limited to 3000 words maximum (or roughly ten double-spaced manuscript pages). The volume is expected to launch in August 2026.
