Co-operative studies

They inform the general public – particularly young people and opinion leaders – about the nature and benefits of co-operation.

Subfields of this include Co-operative economics, and the History of the cooperative movement.

In December 2011 a special edition of the Journal of Co-operative Studies was given over to the subject of co-operative learning.

Edited by Maureen Breeze, the edition contains 14 articles written by theorists and practitioners of co-operative learning.

Contributors include Alan Wilkins (Co-operative Learning: a contextual framework), Nigel Rayment (Co-operative Learning: values into practice), Wendy Jolliffe (Co-operative learning: making it work in the classroom) and Nick Matthews (Teaching About Co-operatives in a UK University Business School).
