Journal of Sociology publishes world leading research across all fields of sociology. As the official journal of The Australian Sociological Association, it showcases vibrant research from the Asia Pacific region and the wider world. Tackling complex social problems and addressing the most current social issues and inequalities, Journal of Sociology is a leading source of cutting-edge sociological ideas and inquiry drawing on both qualitative and quantitative methods. The journal also features interdisciplinary and applied research that is firmly anchored in the sociological imagination. The journal is relevant and accessible for both scholars and practitioners engaged in sociology.

All issues of Journal of Sociology are available to browse online.

The Journal of Sociology publishes original, high quality scholarship across all sub-fields of sociology. We are committed to showcasing sociological theory and applied sociology, and research using both quantitative and qualitative methods. We welcome interdisciplinary pieces with concerns that are sociological in nature, in an acknowledgment that sociological thinking takes place across a range of disciplines, such as in cultural, gender and organisation studies, and outside of the academy. The Journal engages in critical debate, through special issues, commentary on current affairs, and reviews of new research. We welcome submissions from both established and emerging scholars. The Journal is based in the Southern Hemisphere, and invites submissions from sociologists in the Asia-Pacific region and from across the globe.
