This new series provides an opportunity for scholars seeking to publish serious analytical studies and monographs in the contemporary social sciences; books that explore a wide range of critical social issues raised in late modernity.

We are committed above all else to meeting the needs of those seeking to publish well-researched, innovative, and compelling material that is not well accommodated by the rigid constraints of tightly categorised marketing genres. We believe that this series will be particularly welcomed by a diverse and international range of research active, social scientists. The established Editorial Board reflects the global reach intended.

We welcome proposals from any social science discipline for books which:
• explore and analyse the complexities of culture and diversity across a wide range of topics
• are underpinned by rigorous methodology

Research monographs, edited collections and single or multiple authored research based texts, among others, will be considered for publication via a robust, efficient but supportive peer review process. This series is not a suitable outlet for basic level textbooks, but we will consider higher level texts aimed at post-graduate or advanced studies. We will also consider outstanding doctoral theses that can be converted into interesting monographs with a wide appeal for an informed but broad social science readership.

We encourage potential authors to discuss their ideas with Dr Sara Ashencaen Crabtree, the Editor-in-Chief (scrabtree@bournemouth.ac.uk).
