Sociology Compass

Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal explores the intersection of social structures, individual experiences, and societal dynamics across various contexts. Recent articles examine themes such as the social construction of debt and its impact on relationships, gender diversity within Islamicate societies, the role of autoethnography in feminist and anti-racist research, and the evolving nature of crime and its concentration in urban areas. Additionally, the journal investigates the complexities of stay-at-home motherhood, the relationship between development and gendered violence reporting, the ecological costs of artificial intelligence, and the influence of living arrangements on women's household decision-making power in China. Further research delves into the sociology of creative work and activism, the dynamics of right-wing populist movements, the concept of the fluid welfare state, and the impact of automation on the global workforce, particularly in the Global South. The journal also addresses territorial stigmatization, racial attitudes towards refugees, the social construction of 'expat' identities, relational theories of legal inequality, temporality in climate transitions, the study of elite marriages in India, and the integration of social theory with neuroscience to understand the division of labor.
