About This Journal
The Journal of Sociology & Social Change is a Taylor & Francis Academic publication that provides a rigorous forum for theoretical and empirical research on social structures, social inequality, and the dynamics of social transformation. The journal is committed to publishing work that advances sociological understanding of contemporary societies, with a particular emphasis on intersectionality, globalisation, digital social change, and the sociology of organisations. It welcomes contributions from scholars across the world and encourages submissions from under-represented regions and disciplinary perspectives.
Aims & Scope
The journal publishes research across the full breadth of sociology and related disciplines:
• Social stratification and inequality: class, race, gender, and intersectionality
• Organisations and work: labour markets, workplace dynamics, and the gig economy
• Globalisation and transnationalism: migration, global value chains, and cosmopolitanism
• Digital sociology: social media, algorithmic governance, and datafication of social life
• Urban sociology: cities, neighbourhoods, and sociospatial inequality
• Political sociology: social movements, civil society, and contentious politics
• Sociology of education: schooling, higher education, and credentialism
• Sociology of health: health inequalities, medicalisation, and healthcare systems
• Cultural sociology: identity, narrative, and the sociology of knowledge
• Environmental sociology: climate justice, ecological risks, and environmental movements
Both quantitative and qualitative methodologies are equally valued.
