Working Papers and Monographs

The Working Papers and Monographs are intended to highlight critical and emerging topics in the field that have received minimal attention and to complement issues identified in the NCOFF FatherLit Database and Core Learnings. Monographs may take the form of papers by a single author, an edited volume of papers, or a list of recent books and papers along with book reviews by our research staff. These book reviews will often be in the form of meta-reviews, reporting on scholarly and popular reviews of the books in question.
