Volume 37: Social Dis/Order Call for Papers

For STAR Volume 37 we invite social scientists, humanities scholars, artists, and policymakers to contribute work that describes, analyzes, or otherwise addresses the contemporary moment of social dis/order, the failures of the established social order(s) that inform these conditions and dynamics, and/or consequent imaginings of social (re)ordering and contestation.

The deadline for submissions for STAR Volume 37 is January 15, 2024.

A survey of the contemporary world provides no shortage of ways in which social order appears to teeter on the brink of collapse. The global rise of anti-democratic movements, the unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine, cascading global climate crises, and the persistence of gender and racial inequities are but a few examples of the social chaos in recent years. In response, counter-movements attempt to address these crises, but their ability to meaningfully restructure social conditions remains unclear.

For the 37th volume of STAR, we invite social scientists, humanities scholars, and policymakers to contribute work that addresses the contemporary moment of social dis/order and ways in which society, social institutions, and individuals are responding to this cultural moment. We welcome full length (~6,000) empirical work, book reviews, teaching articles, critical literature reviews, and research reports.
