Theory and Society

An Interdisciplinary Social Science Journal

Publishing model:

Overview

Without good theories, data will remain difficult to interpret and impossible to predict. Theory and Society is committed to publishing work that helps elucidate the fundamental regularities and dynamics underlying social and cultural processes. These regularities and dynamics can be discovered or described in myriad ways and as such, the Journal strives to be interdisciplinary in approach and open to work from both new and eclectic points of view. The best tools for understanding and changing the world come from theories and models of how that world works. Theory and Society is a platform open to all who are motivated to improve the variety, interdisciplinarity, and scientific focus of social scientific theory.

  • Statement of Goals for Theory and Society

    Theorizing in sociology has always been eclectic, and we will continue this tradition, but what’s needed is a platform to unify these perspectives into a broad but disciplined scientific perspective. Theory and Society is now one of these platforms.
