Category: Special Issues

CASAS convenes special issues in journals which seek to discuss current issues in critical agrarian studies in dialogue with social movements.

Our most recent special issue, Food Sovereignty and Systems Change, is a Forum published in the Journal of Peasant Studies which accompanies the Nyeleni process to strengthen food sovereignty struggles around the world.
