Since 2000, BCICS has produced the newsletter Anthill. The newsletter is a vehicle for promoting and disseminating the work of the Institute and for staying in touch with an ever-expanding network of contacts locally, nationally, and around the world. Stories are submitted by staff, researchers, students, and Institute research associates. Many of the articles represent the first printing of pioneering research in Co-operative Studies. In addition to its print distribution, all issues of the Anthill are available online.

Make a Submission to the Anthill: The Anthill is looking for feature articles and book reviews from academics and practitioners whose work is in the area of co-operatives and/or the social economy. Find out more...
