Call for Editors for the 2019 Special Issue​

Dear  ,

The Journal of Sociology is an international journal published four times a year by Sage. Each year the Editors invite expressions of interest from the international community of sociological scholars in guest editing a Special Edition of the Journal. Special Editions may address any sociological theme which is likely to be of interest to the Journal readership.

Papers featured in special editions are subject to the normal process of peer review. Selection of papers and coordination of the peer review process will be the responsibility of the Guest Editors. Papers may be selected either on the basis of invitation or via a general ‘call for papers’. Final copy for this special edition is due on the fourth of September, 2018 and publication will be in March 2019.

Please submit expressions of interest of no more than one A4 page in length to Kate Huppatz and Steven Matthewman by Monday 31st July, 2017. Expressions of interest should include the following information:

a)  Contact details and brief biography for each Guest Editor

b)  300 word summary of the special edition theme, including rationale, aims and objectives, and significance of contribution to contemporary sociological thinking and research.
