Social Engagement, Empowerment and Change

Social Engagement, Empowerment and Change

Editor: Miriam Ross

The Kelvingrove Review 's 2nd issue draws upon the theme developed in eSharp 's 11th issue: Social Engagement, Empowerment and Change. The 11th issue of eSharp produced a wide range of original and significant research, proving that the topic continues to provoke pertinent discussion today. Continuing with this subject matter, the TKR team looked for and found a diverse selection of recently published text books that also observe this theme.

This issue of TKR is proud to present a range of reviews which examine recent books dealing with subject matter from social engagement in historical time periods through to empowerment and change in the twenty-first century. We are also pleased to include an original piece of artwork from Adrian Maldonado that was created as the cover for this issue.
