BSA Publications Opportunities
Book Reviewing
Sociology and Work, Employment and Society have vital and vibrant review sections in every issue of the journal. The editors are always interested in reviews of recent books and they welcome suggestions and offers from academics at all stages of career.
Both journals publish a variety of types of reviews:
- single book reviews (800 words)
- joint book reviews (2 books on a related theme – WES only) (1500 words)
- review essays (substantial commentaries on a theme, frequently multiple books) (3000 words)
- review symposia (multiple reviewers for 1 book) (800-1000 words)
Both journals are especially interested in review essays. These types of reviews offer a more substantial publication for the writer and also a greater contribution to the academic record.
To review for Sociology, contact the editors about any potential reviews.
To review for Work, Employment and Society, please email the Reviews Editor, Dr Jennifer Tomlinson, about any potential reviews.

Sociology Journal Special Issue: Sociology and the Global Economic Crisis
We hear it on the radio. We see it on television. We read it in the newspapers, online magazines, and blogs. We think about it on public transport and in hospital corridors; while taking children to school or queuing in supermarkets; at meetings and parties. Our imaginaries and daily experiences are saturated by the global economic crisis. Yet, to what extent are we able to translate this quotidian reality into adequate forms of knowledge? Has the crisis highlighted important limits in our sociological imagination linked either to the subdivision of our discipline or, more fundamentally, questioned the contemporary relevance of sociology as a social science? Submission deadline: 31 August 2013.
