To view details of recent and forthcoming special issues, click hereOur culture is a scientific one, defining what is natural and what is rational. Its values can be seen in what are sought out as facts and made as artefacts, what are designed as processes and products, and what are forged as weapons and filmed as wonders. In our daily experience, power is exercised through expertise, e.g. in science, technology and medicine. Science as Culture explores how all these shape the values which contend for influence over the wider society.Science mediates our cultural experience. It increasingly defines what it is to be a person, through genetics, medicine and information technology. Its values get embodied and naturalized in concepts, techniques, research priorities, gadgets and advertising. Many films, artworks and novels express popular concerns about these developments.In a society where icons of progress are drawn from science, technology and medicine, they are either celebrated or demonised. Often their progress is feared as 'unnatural', while their critics are labelled 'irrational'. Public concerns are rebuffed by ostensibly value-neutral experts and positivist polemics.Yet the culture of science is open to study like any other culture. Cultural studies analyses the role of expertise throughout society. Many journals address the history, philosophy and social studies of science, its popularisation, and the public understanding of society.Amidst these journals, Science as Culture is 'the only source of critique of the way science is going', as one of our readers put it. Not simply criticism, critique analyses the underlying frameworks, assumptions and terms of reference. It emphasizes the fundamental role of values, interests, ideology and purposes -- which would otherwise remain hidden in the guise of neutrality and objectivity. Science as Culture places science within the wider debate on the values which constitute culture; it is not the journal for a particular academic discipline.Science as Culture encompasses people's experiences -- at the workplace, the cinema, the computer, the hospital, the home and the academy. The articles are readable, attractive, lively, often humorous, and always jargon-free. Science as Culture aims to be read at leisure, and to be a pleasure.

Work on self and identity has a special place in the study of human nature, as self-concerns are arguably at the center of individuals' striving for well-being and for making sense of one's life. Life goals develop and are influenced by one's view of what one is like, the way one would ideally like to be (or would like to avoid being), as well as one's perceptions of what is feasible. Furthermore, conceptions of self and the world affect how one's progress towards these goals is monitored, evaluated, redirected, re-evaluated, and pursued again. Thus, the 8220;self8221; as a construct has far-reaching implications for behavior, self-esteem, motivation, experience of emotions and the world more broadly, and hence for interpersonal relationships, society, and culture.Self and Identity is devoted to the study of these social and psychological processes of the self, including both its agentic aspects, as well as the perceived and construed aspects as reflected in its mental representations. The Journal aims to bring together work on self and identity undertaken by researchers across different subdisciplines within psychology (e.g., social, personality, clinical, development, cognitive), as well as across other social and behavioral disciplines (e.g., sociology, family studies, anthropology, neuroscience). Special emphasis is placed on theories and research that are generative in opening new terrain for future investigation. A second continual motivating goal of the journal, will be work that offers integration at the level of basic processes. The Journal publishes empirical articles of all lengths, and occasional theoretical pieces.Peer Review IntegrityAll published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and refereeing by independent expert referees.Special IssuesIssues devoted to a particular topic are occasionally published in this journal.

Sex Education is an international refereed journal concerned both with the practice of sex education and with the thinking that underpins it. Contributions are welcomed from within a variety of academic disciplines - particularly health education, sociology, philosophy and psychology - and from a variety of ideological standpoints. Submitted work should connect significantly with issues concerned with sex education and have presumptions made by the author(s) described and defended. Sex Education does not assume that sex education takes place only in educational institutions and the family. Contributions are therefore welcomed which, for example, analyse the impacts of media and other vehicles of culture on sexual behaviour and attitudes. Medical and epidemiological papers (e.g. of trends in the incidences of sexually transmitted infections) will not be accepted unless their educational implications are discussed adequately.

For more than thirty years, Social History has published scholarly work of consistently high quality, without restrictions of period or geography. Social History is now minded to develop further the scope of the journal in content and to seek further experiment in terms of format. The editorial object remains unchanged - to enable discussion, to provoke argument, and to create space for criticism and scholarship.In recent years the content of Social History has expanded to include a good deal more European and American work as well as, increasingly, work from and about Africa, South Asia and Latin America. In the main, the bulk of this work has taken traditional form - that is, the shape of the scholarly article has determined the form of presentation, its narrative styles and its footnote apparatus. In some circumstances this format can constrain originality, at the worst, or, maybe less bad, it serves to limit conceptual or theoretical risk. We do not wish to argue here that the tradition is without merit. Far from it. Yet we do not judge it appropriate for all purposes. On the contrary, Social History will also welcome work which, rather than reproducing past practices, seeks innovation in focus and presentation. The ways of doing this are manifold: unexpected comparisons crossing continents; analyses led explicitly by theory; lucid appropriations of other disciplines; short, critical reviews of the field's unchallenged assumptions. All these have appeared in recent submissions to Social History , and they are all welcome. They do not, of course, exhaust the innovative possibilities.It would be too strong to say that Social History seeks to establish an entirely new 'voice'. Yet we would like to modify the old one significantly to provide a new openness of debate as well as space for scholarly takers of conceptual risk. If you think you've got something new to say, then let us know about it long before it has been worked into the exquisite disciplines of traditional practice.

Recent years have witnessed considerable worldwide changes concerning social identities such as race, nation and ethnicity, as well as the emergence of new forms of racism and nationalism as discriminatory exclusions. Social Identities aims to furnish an interdisciplinary and international focal point for theorizing issues at the interface of social identities. The journal is especially concerned to address these issues in the context of the transforming political economies and cultures of postmodern and postcolonial conditions. Social Identities is intended as a forum for contesting ideas and debates concerning the formations of, and transformations in, socially significant identities, their attendant forms of material exclusion and power, as well as the political and cultural possibilities opened up by these identifications. Besides the regular range of articles, Social Identities also features Specificities and Debate sections, an occasional book review section, and special issues on topics of note.

Social Movement Studies is an international and inter-disciplinary journal providing a forum for academic debate and analysis of extra-parliamentary political, cultural and social movements throughout the world. Social Movement Studies has a broad, inter-disciplinary approach designed to accommodate papers engaging with any theoretical school and which study the origins, development, organisation, values, context and impact of historical and contemporary movements active in all parts of the world. We understand our inter-disciplinary approach to include both contributions that engage with particular schools of thought relevant to social movements and popular protest and contributions that extend across disciplinary boundaries. Social Movement Studies aims to publish soundly researched analyses and to re-establish writing as intervention. From this broad and inclusive perspective we are interested in contributions dealing with social movements, popular protests and networks that support protest. This includes contributions dealing with but not restricted to:movements of all types including gender, race, sexuality, indigenous people's rights,disability, ecology, peace, youth, age, religion, animal rights and others,forms of communication, media and representation engaged with social change, including the Internet and cybercultures,networks of support and broad 'ways of life' engaged with alternative social systems,appraisals of popular reactionary movements or populist movements of the 'right',subcultures and countercultures, including such things as the place of dance, pleasure or music in resistance,identities and the construction of collective identitiesrelations between protests and social structures, including situating movements in local, regional, national, international and global socio-economic and cultural contextstheoretical reflections on the significance of social movements and protest.

Special Issue Call for Papers: Aggression and ViolenceSocial Neuroscience features original empirical Research Papers, as well as Short Reviews or Commentaries that examine how the brain mediates social cognition, interpersonal exchanges, affective/cognitive group interactions, and related topics that deal with social/personality psychology.The goal of Social Neuroscience is to provide a place to publish empirical articles that intend to further our understanding of the role of the central nervous system in the development and maintenance of social behaviors.Submissions from all branches of neuroscience are encouraged, including (but not limited to) bio/neuropsychology, evolution, psychiatry, neurology, and neuroscience. Further, submissions that have brain-based empirical data in the fields of social and cognitive psychology, including social cognitive neuroscience, philosophy, or other humanities areas are encouraged.Articles published in Social Neuroscience cover all neuroscience techniques including neuroimaging methods (e.g., fMRI, PET, ERP, TMS), as well as more traditional neuroscience techniques (e.g., animal studies, case studies, psychiatric populations, post-mortem studies, pharmaceutical, agonist /antagonist). Social Neuroscience does not publish articles that report only behavioral data.The journal focuses on both molar (i.e., regional cortical localization, neural networks) and molecular (i.e., neurotransmitter) research. All social behaviors are covered including all aspects of inter- and intra-personal relationships. Both environmental and genetic influences are presented. Abnormal behaviors and populations are focused on in terms of understanding social/brain relationships. Language, memory, attention and perception are appropriate topics if they relate to specific social behaviors or cognitions. Studies that approach social neuroscience from an environmental or genetic approach are equally appropriate, and related topics that deal with the interface of neuroscientific and social/personality investigations.Peer Review IntegrityAll published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.Special IssuesIssues devoted to a single topic are regularly published in this journal; they are sent free to subscribers in that year.

South Asia is a refereed journal published under the authority of the South Asian Studies Association of Australia. It is published three times a year, in April, August and December. Its mission is to provide a forum for scholarly research, comment and discussion on the history, society, economy, culture and international relations of the South Asian region from the earliest times to the present day. Ordinarily there are two general issues each year, and one dedicated to a topical theme. Published since 1971, South Asia is the world's senior journal of record for the South Asian region.The South Asian Association of Australia represents scholars whose interests are in the South Asian region. It is not strictly focussed, either geographically or by discipline. Generally, it covers countries such as India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal and the Himalayan states but the diasporic nature of south Asian cultures and the supra-national influences on the region mean that the interests of scholars may extend well beyond the borders of these states. South Asia is generously supported by the Monash Asia Institute, Monash University, Australia, and the University of New South Wales, Australia.

The South Asian Diaspora, shaped by dispersions of people, goods, ideas and beliefs that flowed from and through the Indian Subcontinent which is currently one of the world's largest diasporas. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan and the Maldives all anchor a sense of home for people who have moved outside the region through the centuries. These territories evoke emotional, social, political, economic, cultural and literary affiliations as well which find expression in multiple ways. The diaspora is also marked by struggles over meanings and tensions both amongst the diasporics and with people in the countries where the diasporics now inhabit. In South Asian Diaspora we aim to explore some of the issues that the South Asian diaspora presents for the contemporary world.

South Asian History and Culture offers a forum that will provide an integrated perspective on the field at large. The journal aims to bring together research on South Asia in the humanities and social sciences, and to provide scholars with a platform covering, but not restricted to, their particular fields of interest and specialization. Such an approach is critical to any expanding field of study, for the development of more informed and broader perspectives, and of more overarching theoretical conceptions. The idea is to try to achieve a truly multidisciplinary journal on South Asian history and culture, under which the established (e.g. economic history, politics, gender studies) and more recent disciplines (e.g. minority rights, sexuality studies) will interact and enmesh with each other. A focus will also be to make more mainstream the more recently developed disciplines in the field of South Asian studies, which have to date remained specialized fields, for instance research on film, media, photography, sport, medicine and the environment. A significant concern for this journal is to focus across the region known as South Asia, and not simply on India, as most 8216;South Asia' forums inevitably do. We are most conscious of this gap in South Asian studies and will work to bring into focus more scholarship on and from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and other parts of South Asia.

South Asian Popular Culture is an interdisciplinary journal designed to respond to the growing interest in South Asian popular culture within the different subject disciplines in the social sciences and humanities. South Asian popular culture is defined in a broad and inclusive way to incorporate lived and textual cultures, the mass media, ways of life, and discursive modes of representation. Central to the formation of popular cultures are articulations of the economic, social and political spheres and the journal welcomes contributions that will highlight these issues.South Asian Popular Culture is of interest to cultural, media, and film studies, as well as social geography, history, diaspora studies, postmodern and postcolonial theoretical formulations, and contributions are invited from these fields. The journal critically examines from theoretical and empirical perspectives the production, distribution, and consumption of South Asian popular cultural forms within the subcontinent and across international borders. Attention to the use of popular cultures in the South Asian diasporas as well as the development of traditional cultural practices in forging hybrid forms is also an important focus. As such the journal is a forum for authors from around the world.The journal of South Asian Popular Culture seeks to serve as an innovative and informative venue to discuss and debate the emergence and vibrancy of new forms of social, economic, cultural and political strategies and representations including those in film, music, radio, television, the press, fiction, sports, visual and cyber cultures, fashion, dance and sexuality. These forms, in fact, pose a challenge to be understood within a context of culture that enshrines a transnational focus and open attitude towards difference and diversity. The journal also encourages the exploration of how South Asian cultural practice has developed within wider parameters of transnational policies of art and culture.South Asian Popular Culture also features a regular section entitled Working Notes that includes contributions from cultural practitioners within South Asian popular culture (film, radio, and television makers, musicians, artists, personnel, cultural activists, fashion designers, and sexuality campaigners). It offers original insights into their work and current debates by way of interviews, diary notes, short essays, visual images and discussions.Peer Review Policy:All research articles in this journal have undergone editorial screening and anonymous peer review.
