Call for articles (The Journal of Historical Sociology) :
Editors on the board range across the humanities and social science disciplines with Managing Editors situated in San Diego, USA (Martha Lampland, Leon Zamosc; Oxford (Gavin Williams) and Reading (Roberto Franzosi), UK; and Alberta (Derek Sayer, YS Wong) Canada. We welcome articles that contribute to the historically-grounded understanding of social and cultural phenomena, whatever their disciplinary provenance or theoretical standpoint. We are open as to topic, period, and place, and seek to be as international as possible in both the content and the authorship of articles. Alongside articles, we carry occasional essays on “Schools and Scholars” and of “Review and Commentary,” and shorter pieces in our “Issues and Agendas” section which are designed deliberately to provoke. To maintain the geographical balance in the journal we are especially interested in papers on East and South East Asia that raise questions about historiography, oral history, culture (art and architecture in particular), time and space, memory and nostalgia, identity, nationalisms, agriculture, food and eating, technology and science, consumerism, “Post-Colonialism”. Other topics are welcomed. A typical Journal of Historical Sociology article will contain little by way of extended literature review (which we are prone to edit out), will say something substantial and new about its empirical subject-matter, will be aware of the theoretical implications of its topic without turning into an abstruse discussion of pure theory, and will be of interest to readers beyond a specialist geographical or disciplinary audience. Four copies of the manuscript should be sent to the responsible editors (address below). All contributions should be accompanied by an abstract of no more than 100 words, and a brief (up to five lines) biographical note including institutional affiliation. These should each be typed on separate sheets. Unsolicited manuscripts cannot be returned. Articles should normally be no longer than 10,000 words or 35- 40 double-spaced
standard North American letter size pages (8.5' x 11"); review essays or
“issues and Agendas” pieces no more than 6,000 words.
The responsible editors are Derek Sayer and Yoke Sum Wong, Department
of Sociology, 5-21 HM Tory Building, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta,
Canada T6G 2H4. Our email address is
