Our latest Independence with Impact report is here - sharing our work developing resources that advance disciplines, cultivate critical thinking, and drive social change. This work embodies the core values that have guided us since our founding and continue to inspire us 60 years later. The report highlights the meaningful actions we have taken as an independent company, including publishing on an array of topics that impact humanity; advocating for the value of social and behavioral science in addressing real world problems; sparking critical, evidence-based conversations both inside and outside the classroom; and supporting academic freedom. We are proud of this work and even prouder to be able to say that, as an independent company, we can continue to lead with our mission and stay firm to our values for the next 60 years and beyond.
