The UK Society for Co-operative Studies is a learned society and registered charity in the United Kingdom for the research of co-operatives and the co-operative movement. The society hosts conferences, lectures, and publishes the Journal of Co-operative Studies.[1] [2]
The society was founded in April 1967 at Stanford Hall in Nottinghamshire, England, then home to the Co-operative College.[3] In 1995 the society became a registered charity, and in 2017 incorporated as a charitable incorporated organisation.
The Journal of Co-operative Studies is a peer-reviewed academic journal published three times a year by the society, with collaboration from the Canadian Association of Studies in Co-operation (CASC) and the Society for Co-operative Studies in Ireland. First published in 1967 as the Society for Co-operative Studies Bulletin, it adopted its current name in 1985.[4]
