Exploring Opportunities, Risks, and Alternatives in the Social Economy Guest Editors: Dr. Ushnish Sengupta, Algoma University and Dr. Catherine Pearl, Mount Royal University New submission Deadline: November 30, 2025 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming how organizations work, but what does this mean for the social economy sector? Nonprofits, charities, cooperatives, and collectives are beginning to engage with AI technologies, facing both promise and peril in equal measure. This special issue invites papers that explore how AI is being adopted, adapted, or resisted within Canada and elsewhere in diverse social economy landscapes, and how these experiences connect to global movements for ethical, equitable, and community-led technology. We aim to gather critical and creative scholarship that speaks to the unique role of social economy organizations in shaping AI’s future. These organizations are not only users of technology; they are also key actors in articulating alternative values and governance approaches—ones rooted in equity, human rights, and the well-being of communities (Lantero, 2018). Social economy organizations in Canada are distinct in their missions and values, yet they often rely on AI tools built by for-profit vendors and shaped by global and multinational business priorities. This raises important questions: How can these organizations adopt AI in ways that align with their social goals? What risks and opportunities does AI present? And how can Canadian experiences contribute to a different kind of AI development, one that resists purely commercial logics and reflects a broader public interest? This special issue invites empi…

Quelle est la pertinence théorique et pratique de la notion d’écosystème en ESS ? 2. Que pouvons-nous apprendre desécosystèmes ESS existants ? 3.Comment les écosystèmes de l’ESS peuvent-ils répondre aux défis sociaux et écologiques actuels ?

Bouchard, Jean-Marc Fontan, and Benoît Lévesque, this issue critically explores the uses and relevance of the “ecosystem” concept in the social and solidarity economy. This issue offers thought-provoking insights for researchers, practitioners, and changemakers, addressing three core questions: 1. What is the theoretical and practical relevance of the ecosystem concept in SSE? 2. What can we learn from real-world SSE ecosystems? 3. How can SSE ecosystems respond to today’s pressing social and ecological challenges? Open Access: https://anserj.ca/index.php/cjnser/issue/view/42

Perspective écosystémique sur l’économie sociale / An ecosystem perspective on the social economy Numéro thématique ReCROES Canadian Journal of Nonprofit and Social Economy Research (CJNSER) Revue canadienne de recherche sur les OSBL et l'économie sociale (ReCROES) Appel pour articles Présentation du numéro thématique La notion d’écosystème est de plus en plus souvent employée en économie sociale, tant dans les milieux d’économie sociale eux-mêmes que dans celui des politiques publiques, voire aussi celui des organisations internationales. Or, très peu de publications scientifiques ont jusqu'à présent exploré ce que signifie l'introduction de la notion d'écosystème dans le monde de l'économie sociale, que ce soit sur le plan théorique ou stratégique. Ce numéro spécial de la revue ReCROES/CJNSER vise à faire le point sur les usages et l’utilité de la notion d’écosystème en économie sociale (entendue de manière large : organismes communautaires, coopératives, mutuelles, fondations, et autres organisations adoptant les valeurs et principes de l’économie sociale). À titre indicatif, nous observons trois types d’écosystèmes d’économie sociale. Ceux regroupant des organisations directement associées à l’économie sociale : écosystème identitaire Ceux regroupant des organisations de l’économie sociale et des organisations et institutions interagissant avec les premières : écosystème élargi Ceux intégrant un ou des écosystèmes d’économie sociale : écosystème d’écosystèmes Sur les écosystèmes d’économie sociale, plusieurs questions se posent. Quelle est la pertinence théorique et pragmatique de la notion d’écosystème en économie sociale? Y a-t-il des dimensions organisationnelles est institutionnelles propres aux écosystèmes en économie sociale? Quelles sont les échelles (locale, régionale, nationale, supranationale) pertinentes pour de tels écosystèmes? Quelles leçons peut-on tirer des expériences actuelles? Quel positionnement des écosystèmes de l’é…
