Social Research

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Social Research is a quarterly academic journal of the social sciences, published by the New School for Social Research, the graduate social science division of The New School .

The journal has been published continuously since 1934. It has featured over 2,000 authors, including Hannah Arendt, Leo Strauss, and Jacques Derrida.

Most current issues are thematic, although occausionally nonthematic issues are still occasionally produced. The themes selected are current, often pressing issues in world society. The themes often include a political angle, keeping in the tradition of the New School for Social Research's politically-conscious history.

Social Research organizes yearly conferences around similar themes, inviting academics and professionals to speak on aspects of the theme. The proceedings of these conferences are published afterward, in a dedicated issue of the journal. The current conference, entitled "Punishment: The U.S. Record", will be taking place on November 30th and December 1st, 2006. Past conferences have been "Politics and Science: How Their Interplay Results in Public Policy", and "Fairness: Its Role in Our Lives".

The latest issue of the journal, Volume 73 Number 3, is "Politics and Science: How Their Interplay Results in Public Policy", the publication of the conference's proceedings. Previous to that was "Fairness: Its Role in Our Lives", and "China in Transition".

The editor is Arien Mack. The managing editor is Cara Schlesinger.
