The Research on Stress and Coping in Education series editors announce the call for volume editors for the upcoming book in the series. The series is affiliated with the Stress and Coping in Education Special Interest Group of the American Educational Research Association. This series is centered on understanding the sources, experiences, and consequences of stress and coping in education. We invite prospective editors to submit a proposal that is expected to appeal to a broad readership in the fields of education, psychology, sociology, and business.
