Bloomsbury Publishing has launched a new digital resource in collaboration with Jessica Kingsley Publishers, offering resources in the fields of autism and neurodiversity, gender diversity and sexuality, mental health and counselling, and inclusive teaching and learning. Jessica Kingsley Publishers Library is an online destination providing educators, faculty members, health professionals, and learners with digital collections in vital areas of theory and practice.
Unique to its field of study, Jessica Kingsley Publishers Library offers pioneering titles from Jessica Kingsley authors who not only possess scholarly expertise, but who write from their own lived experiences, bringing unique empathy and insight into their subject areas. Notable authors include Rudy Simone (Aspergirls), Kryss Shane (The Educator’s Guide to LGBTQ+ Inclusion), Tony Attwood (The Complete Guide to Asperger’s Syndrome), and Eris Young (They/Them/Their).
“By partnering with Jessica Kingsley Publishers, Bloomsbury can provide both research support and practical resources to people who are invested in empowering others,” said Kathryn Earle, Managing Director of Bloomsbury Digital Resources. “This is a time when it’s more important than ever to help transform the narrative on difference. We intend to do so by supporting educators and professionals who are committed to improving mental health and wellness.”
“Jessica Kingsley Publishers is unique in its mission and innovative in its titles,” said Sarah Phillips, Bloomsbury Digital Portfolio Director. “This collaboration gives us the opportunity to bring their books to researchers, experts, and learners around the world.”
Jessica Kingsley Publishers Library currently offers collections in the fields of Autism and Neurodiversity and Gender Diversity and Sexuality and will be launching additional collections in Mental Health and Counselling and Inclusive Teaching and Learning in January 2025.
Jessica Kingsley Publishers Library is part of Bloomsbury Digital Resources, serving a global community of students, scholars, instructors, and librarians in the arts, humanities, and social sciences.
