Knowledge Unlatched

A big thank you to our KU Selection Committee 2024! We’d like to express our gratitude to the 200+ around the world who once again gave their time and shared their expertise to curate our flagship collection, KU Select Books. For a second year, the content of the collection was aligned with seven of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): No Poverty (SDG 1), Good Health and Well-being (SDG 3), Gender Equality (SDG 5), Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8), Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10), Climate Action (SDG 13), and Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions (SDG 16), and as customary, the committee voted for the titles that they considered most relevant to be included. This year the Committee also selected the titles for our four new KU Focus Collections: Global Warming and Responses, Economics: Sustainability and Circularity; Public Opinion and Elections; and Regional Studies: Conflict, War and Peace. To learn more about these collections and pledge to support their publication, please visit KU’s website at: https://ow.ly/jICr50UmfxV.
