The Global Agenda for Social Justice 3 provides accessible insights into some of the most pressing social problems and proposes public policy responses to those problems.
Written by a highly respected team of authors brought together by the Society for the Study of Social Problems (SSSP), the book offers recommendations for action by elected officials, policy makers, and the public regarding key issues for social justice. Chapters include discussion of social problems related to period poverty, climate justice, algorithmic bias, labor rights, and global inequality.
The book will be of interest to scholars, practitioners, advocates, and students interested in public sociology, the study of social problems, and the pursuit of social justice.
