Trotman Studies in Careers, Employability and Transitions is an international academic monograph series publishing original, high-quality research that advances understanding of careers, employability, career education, guidance and transitions.
The series is led by Professor Tristram Hooley as Series Editor. Professor Hooley is Professor of Career Education at the University of Derby and Visiting Professor at the Inland Norway University and Canterbury Christ Church University. He brings extensive scholarly expertise and an international perspective to the series, working closely with Trotman’s editorial team to shape its intellectual direction and maintain its academic standards.
The series is supported by an international Editorial Board, which provides academic guidance and strategic oversight, helping identify key topics, authors and approaches to be represented in the series.
All proposals and manuscripts are subject to an independent peer review process, supporting the quality, rigour and scholarly contribution of published works. The series welcomes authors from a wide range of international contexts, fostering diverse perspectives and research that reflects the global and comparative dimensions of careers, employability and transitions.
Publishing approximately three to five titles each year, the series includes single-authored monographs and carefully curated edited collections. It particularly welcomes work that:
- advances theoretical, empirical and practice-based knowledge;
- introduces innovative, interdisciplinary and boundary-crossing perspectives;
- explores international, global and comparative approaches; and
- investigates emerging questions and new directions within and beyond the field.
The series is intended for researchers, advanced practitioners and postgraduate students, with titles published primarily for institutional and library markets worldwide. Through rigorous scholarship and diverse international perspectives, it aims to provide authoritative and lasting contributions to research, policy and practice.
