What the paper says

Dr Rita Rhodes had a tremendous impact on the world of co-operatives in general and on UKSCS and the Journal of Co-operative Studies in particular. She served as UKSCS chair and vice chair, as well as reviews editor for the Journal, in addition to contributing numerous articles, reviews, and commentaries. We were deeply saddened to learn of her death. Spear’s article pays tribute to her co-operative life, deep learning, and advocacy for co-operatives, as well as reflecting on the impact she had on people. He includes an annotated bibliography of her key works, which serves as a great introduction to her writings.
