Aims and Scope
The journal intends to enhance and to accelerate communication amongst scientists working in social geography, including Human Geography, Sociology, Anthropology, Architecture, Ecology, Cultural Studies, History, Politics, Philosophy, or Linguistics. Social Geography enables rapid publication and discussion on research work for the benefit of each discipline and for strengthening cross-disciplinary discourses.
Social Geography provides a forum for contributions that combine a strong theoretical orientation with praxis-related matters of concern. It focuses on the interrelation of society, practice and space and its implications for every day-life, social and environmental policy or economic practice. Furthermore, the journal supports contributions that account for theoretical interfaces of the related scientific fields, including their respective philosophy of science. At irregular intervals "classics" in Social Geography are reviewed in order to invigorate the critical reflection of the discipline.
The journal intends to be international in scope. The editors, in particular, encourage submissions from young researchers and scholars outside European and Anglo-American discourse. Articles may be submitted in English or German. Original citations written in other languages as supplementary references are welcome in any case.
Articles accepted for publication in Social Geography must meet the highest standards of scholarly peer-review.
