Critical and Radical Social Work – Black Lives Matter
https://bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journals/crsw/crsw-overview.xml?tab_body=latest-issue
Guest edited by Suryia Nayak and Charlotte Williams
This special issue seeks to recognise the critical momentum of the BLM campaign. We hope this issue will open up debate within social work about racism, our understandings of oppression and racist violence, and the necessary response from within social work.
Black Lives Matter Special Issue presents a compelling case for anti-racist practices, including models for constructive ways forward that leave no excuse for complicit positions of ignorance, innocence or disavowals.
Emotions and Society - Emotionalization of Public Domains
Guest Edited by Julia Lerner and Michele Rivkin-Fish
https://bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journals/emsoc/3/1/emsoc.3.issue-1.xml
This special issue explores the geographies and styles of emotionalisation of public domains. It shows how the emotionalisation of public spheres generates modifications in the roles of institutions, including their adopting new responsibilities, forms of expertise and competencies.
European Journal of Politics and Gender - Feminist Alliances: The Ideas, Practices and Politics of Intersectional Solidarity
Guest Edited by Rossella Ciccia, Donatella della Porta and Elena Pavan
https://bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journals/ejpg/4/2/ejpg.4.issue-2.xml
The contributions to this special issue offer rich theoretical and empirical material on the characteristics, processes and outcomes of feminist alliances and intersectional solidarity. Covering Europe, Asia and both North and Latin America.

https://bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journals/evp/18/2/evp.18.issue-2.xml
This fully open access special issue brings a greater focus on the topic of creativity in co-production by exploring 4 key questions:
1. How is creativity applied within co-production?
2. How does such creativity influence the incorporation of evidence into policy or practice?
3. What impact(s) or effect(s) does creativity have in these applications?
4. What are the implications of this, and for whom?

https://bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journals/jpr/5/1-2/jpr.5.issue-1-2.xml
This double special issue seeks to challenge dominant discourses around power which frames harms as unavoidable outcomes or unforeseeable consequences. It raises questions about the use of the police during a health crisis, but also about the use of policing more broadly as a response to problems.
Longitudinal and Life Course Studies - Educational Differentiation in Secondary Education and Labour Market Outcomes
Guest Edited by Steffen Schindler
https://bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journals/llcs/12/3/llcs.12.issue-3.xml
Countries differ in the way in which they organise their education systems. This special issue pays particular attention to the period of secondary education, the different institutional approaches that countries pursue during that phase and the long-term consequences for individual labour-market outcomes that follow from it.
The special issue comprises contributions from seven countries and all stem from the international project Life-Course Dynamics of Educational Tracking (LIFETRACK).
Policy & Politics – Transformational change in Public Policy
Guest edited by Oscar Berglund, Claire A. Dunlop, Elizabeth Koebele and Christopher M. Weible
https://bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journals/pp/50/3/pp.50.issue-3.xml
This special issue explores the idea of transformational societal change. It asks how public policy scholarship can contribute to fostering it; the research questions we need to do so; what actors we need to study; who our audiences are; and how we need to expand our theories and methods.
Voluntary Sector Review - Critical theory, qualitative methods and the non-profit and voluntary sector
Guest edited by Jon Dean and Kimberley Wiley
https://bristoluniversitypressdigital.com/view/journals/vsr/13/1/vsr.13.issue-1.xml
In this special issue we are pleased to present seven articles that use critical theory and qualitative methods to better understand the non-profit world. By taking a critical approach, and drawing on feminist, queer, post-colonial or postmodern theories, we can identify sources of discrimination and injustice in the sector and identify ways of tackling them.
