Aims & Scope

The Journal of Working-Class Studies invites submissions that contribute significant knowledge to our understanding of who the global working class(es) are and have been, as well as what it means to ‘study’ class, conceptually and as a socio-economic reality. We are especially keen to publish work that explores how class intersects with other vectors of identity and experience, including race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, ability, and citizenship status. Scholarly submissions are sent for double anonymous peer review. Non-scholarly submissions are reviewed by the editors, and/or anonymous peer reviewers (when specific expertise is required). We also invite artists to submit short comics or excerpts of longer works.
