Aims & Scope

Social Sciences Review publishes rigorous research across the social sciences:

• Political science: comparative politics, international relations, political behaviour, and public policy
• Social psychology: attitudes, prejudice, social influence, and group dynamics
• Anthropology: cultural anthropology, ethnography, and social change
• Cultural studies: media, popular culture, identity, and representation
• Demography and population studies
• Criminology and deviance
• Migration, diaspora, and transnationalism

Both inductive and deductive research designs are welcome. The journal particularly values theoretically grounded explanations that engage with existing scholarly debates.
