Publications in the series offer future-oriented responses along the dimensions of what it means to be human, how to improve democratic self-governance, and how to achieve socio-economic transformation. Our goal is to make humanistic research relevant and accessible to wider audiences. All of our books are published as open access publications by transcript.
