The Department
of Sociology, South Asian University has launched its own journal called Society
and Culture in South Asia to be published by Sage India under the editorial
responsibility of the Department of Sociology.
The journal
will be published twice a year. Its discussions will primarily be located within
the discipline of sociology, but be open to other related disciplines to
maintain an interdisciplinary thrust within the ambit of sociology of
knowledge. The basic format would be discursive, and the journal will publish
full-length research papers, review-essays and debates in the temperament of
qualitative sociology. It will strictly avoid mere quantitative or empirical
abstractions without contextualization in both social theory and
ethnography.
More
specifically, the disciplinary dimensions to which the journal responds covers
sociology and social anthropology in the main, and sociology of education,
sociology of medicine, arts and aesthetics, cultural studies, sociology of mass
media, sociology of law, urban studies inter alia. However, it will be open to
contributions from other disciplines in the wider domains of social sciences
and humanities in so far as they conform to the disciplinary dimensions
identified above.
