The goal of Action Research Books is to create a space for dialog between academics, community organizations, students, experts, activists and others, about strategies for creating a more just, livable and democratic world. …by linking activism with academia, and examining the interconnectedness of the social and environmental issues we face today.

- Urban and Industrial Environments – Established in 1997, the Urban and Industrial Environments series seeks to address issues of urban life, industry structures and activities, local and global environments and questions of social and environmental justice. (Download a flier)
