Our growing Sociology list has a global outlook featuring high-quality research across emerging and established areas in the field, such as digital sociology, migration, gender, race and ethnicity, public sociology, and children and families.
From textbooks to specialised monographs and cross-over trade books that reach wider audiences, our path breaking Sociology books aim to shape public conversations at this time of social, political, economic and cultural disruption.
Our series include the bestselling 21st Century Standpoints in collaboration with the British Sociological Association, and the Agendas for Social Justice published with the Society for the Study of Social Problems. In addition, we have recently published the first books in our new Sociology of Diversity and Public Sociology series and we have series in the areas of Gender and Sociology, Global Migration and Social Change, and Sociology of Children and Families for which we welcome proposals. We are also proud of our ground-breaking series Alternatives to Capitalism in the 21st Century which aims to advance the international, comparative and interdisciplinary study of capitalism and its alternatives in modern times.
We are also publishing leading journals in the field, including Emotions and Society in association with the European Sociological Association's (ESA) Research Network on Sociology of Emotions (RN11) as well as Families, Relationships and Societies and the Journal of Gender-Based Violence.
We are actively seeking passionate, enthusiastic academics and professionals undertaking unique research who are looking to make an impact with their publications. In particular we aim to publish work that grapples with the global social challenges of our time on topics such as:
- Mobilities and movement
- Poverty, inequality and social justice
- Equality, diversity and inclusion
- The future of work
- Culture and society
