Cultural Sociology call for papers

"With the launch of Cultural Sociology, the renewal of sociological interest in culture will finally find a central and global forum. I am convinced that Cultural Sociology will rapidly attract the best work within cultural sociology/sociology of culture, and establish itself quickly as the leading journal within the field" Prof. Rudi Laermans, Centre for Sociology of Culture,

Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium

Cultural Sociology is a fully peer reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles concerning the sociological analysis of culture.

Cultural Sociology is the first journal explicitly to be dedicated to the sociological comprehension of cultural matters. Now firmly established, it acts as a key meeting point for sociological analysts of culture coming from a wide range of theoretical and methodological positions, and from a great variety of national contexts. It is a locale where different analytical traditions in cultural sociology and the sociology of culture can engage with and learn from each other.
