Call for Proposals

for a Special Issue of the European Journal of Sociology to be published in 2019

The European Journal of Sociology is pleased to invite proposals for a special issue to be published in 2019.

The European Journal of Sociology publishes innovative, empirical and theoretical research articles from every field of sociology. It is open to sociologically informed contributions from anthropologists, economists, historians, lawyers and political scientists. The journal has a special reputation for comparative and historical sociology but is not limited to these fields. It is methodologically open to qualitative and quantitative research. The journal aims to contribute to the diffusion of sociological research from European countries and to enhance interaction between European and non-European sociology.

With their special issue, the editors of the European Journal of Sociology wish to give special in-depth attention to an innovative and important topic of current sociological scholarship.

Proposals for the special issue should contain the following information:

  1. 1. The names, contact details and positions of proposed guest editor(s) together with brief biographical details.

  2. 2. A title for the proposed special issue.

  3. 3. A three page summary indicating the main theme, key topics, and methodological foci of potential contributions for the special issue. The outline should contain the rationale behind the special issue, its planned scope, its innovative nature and its likely relevance to readers of the European Journal of Sociology. Please provide a list containing a short abstract of any contribution you intend to invite and information regarding the interest of the authors.
