Why should you publish in Global Social Challenges Journal?

The complexity of global social challenges often requires inter- and trans-disciplinary approaches to sustainability, health and well being, democratic rights, and conflict resolution. We invite case studies, literature reviews, conceptual and methodological accounts, and reflective essays on pertinent strategies and structures for research and education to advance understanding dynamics of integrating differing forms of expertise and experiences across disciplines, interdisciplinary fields, professional occupations, and sectors of society including government, industry, and rural and urban communities in the North and South.”
