Acta Sociologica
"Acta Sociologica, from its vantage point in the Nordics, provides sociologists all over the world with a valuable outlet for promoting and publicizing the international relevance of sociological research and theory.” - Arne L Kalleberg University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA
Acta Sociologica publishes original papers on high-quality innovative sociology, carried out from different theoretical and methodological starting points, in the formats of both shorter papers like one-point articles or research notes and longer articles. We also publish commentaries on previously published papers and academic discussions in sociology as well as book reviews and review essays. Papers that help mediate between Nordic and international scholarly discussions are encouraged.
Furthermore, Acta welcomes proposals for special issues on topics of general sociological interest. We encourage proposals that aim to mediate between Nordic and international sociology, e.g., by combining long articles with shorter articles and comments. To submit a proposal or inquire about your idea’s fit, write us at actasociologica@samf.ku.dk.
All issues of Acta Sociologica are available to browse online.
