About Ashgate's Sociology List
At Ashgate we are committed to publishing the highest quality
academic research and this means willingness to consider proposals
in a variety of areas, ensuring that innovative work and cutting
edge methodologies appear alongside outstanding work based upon
more well-established ethnographic methods.
Alongside classical sociological thought, as published in our
series Rethinking Classical Sociology,
modern social and feminist theory are important parts of our list,
with series devoted to contemporary feminist thought (The Feminist Imagination – Europe and Beyond)
and reflection upon the social, political and moral questions
surrounding the emergence of new technology (Theory, Technology and Society). We also publish
in the field of media and our collection of titles devoted to
cultural studies continues to grow. The Sociology list remains
strong in its publication of titles connected with migration and
ethnic relations, with three series devoted to these areas:
Studies in Migration and Disapora,
Research in Migration and Ethnic
Relations and Interdisciplinary Research
Series in Ethnic, Gender and Class Relations.
Naturally, we wish to continue building upon our strengths in
sociology and to maintain the growth of our publications in these
disciplines. We welcome proposals in all of these areas and more,
but we also seek to continue broadening the range of fields in
which we publish so as to ensure that our list reflects current,
cutting edge scholarship and developments in sociological and
anthropological research. As such, we are very pleased to see the
growth of our publishing in the fields of globalisation and
contemporary social movements within our series Global Connections and The Mobilization Series on Social Movements,
Protest, and Culture, as well as in the area of urban sociology
in our series Cities and Society. In
addition, we are delighted to have launched a number of new series,
which examine the place and role of public intellectuals (Public Intellectuals and the Sociology of
Knowledge), explore questions surrounding the philosophy and
methodology of the social sciences (Philosophy and Method in the Social Sciences),
engage with interactionist approaches in sociology (Interactionist Currents) and consider practical
approaches to social problems (Solving
Social Problems). 2013 sees the launch of a new series Interdisciplinary Disability Studies, which
explores the relationship between power and the body as well as
extending the interdisciplinary dialogue between disability studies
and other fields.
Perhaps the best way to gain an understanding of the areas in
which we currently publish and the directions of our list, is to
simply browse the Sociology and Series pages.
