Aims & Scope
The Journal of Sociology strives to publish original, high quality sociological scholarship in all its forms.
We are committed to showcasing theory as well as applied sociology, incorporating both quantitative and qualitative research.
We welcome interdisciplinary pieces with concerns that are sociological in nature, in an acknowledgment that sociological thinking takes place across a range of disciplines, such as in cultural, gender and organisation studies, and outside of the academy.
The Journal engages in critical debate, through the development of special editions, book reviews, a commitment to emerging scholars and commentary on pressing issues.
While the Journal is based in the Southern Hemisphere, and wishes to showcase intellectual works from the Asia-Pacific region, including Indigenous scholarship, we encourage submissions from across the globe.
