The Stanford Social Innovation Review(SSIR) provides curated information on recent social innovation developments throughout the world. Succinct, accessible articles are written by social change leaders from diverse sectors of society. These sectors include nonprofits, for profit businesses, foundations, as well as notable engaged citizens. Available online and in print, the content can also be accessed through podcasts, webinars, videos, and a weekly newsletter. Published by Stanford’s prestigious Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society, the publications strives to “advance, educate, and inspire the field of social innovation by seeking out, cultivating, and disseminating the best in research- and practice-based knowledge.”
The SSIR not only informs readers on social injustices and inequality, but emphasizes a solution-focused approach based on technology, paradigm shifts, and multi sector collaboration. By presenting current thought on social justice solutions such as design thinking, organizational development, and impact investing, the SSIR connects social theory to real world practice. The SSIR can help any social impact oriented individual stay up to date with the constantly changing social innovation landscape, learn novel approaches and innovative business models for impactful solutions, and engage with pertinent civic and social issues.
