The Sociology Magazine is a German specialist magazine in the field of sociology , which is aimed primarily at young scientists .

History and present

The sociology magazine e. V., which was founded in 2007 at the 1st Student Sociology Congress, wants to build a bridge between established science and a critical, student perspective. Students and those interested in sociology should be given the opportunity to publish their first articles on young academics. The sociology magazine and sociology blog serve as a platform for this . While articles can be posted on the blog freely and without a selection process, the magazine has a Call4Papers on a key topic. The contributions submitted here are then selected and supervised by the editorial team and the scientific advisory board. The sociology magazine appears as a free eJournal and as print-on-demand . The association has been cooperating with the Barbara Budrich publishing house since October 2012 , which is why the magazine is now being published by VBB. In this context, the editors decided to delete "student" from the name, so that from now on the magazine is only called "sociology magazine". Changes to the content are not accompanied by the name change.

editorial staff

The editorial team is subject to greater fluctuation, as the editorial team consists mostly of volunteer students and young scientists. The editor-in-chief is also subject to the rotation principle, in order to relieve members on the one hand and to give all members the opportunity to continue their education on the other. There is also an expanded group of employees.

other activities

The sociology magazine was at the 37th congress of the DGS ( German Society for Sociology ) with the topic "Routines of the Crisis - Crisis of Routines" with an ad hoc group focusing on "Crisis of Communication: Where is the Sociological Discourse?" represented. In March 2017, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung published an article about student publishing, in which, in addition to the 360 ° magazine and the Aventinus history portal, the sociology magazine was also presented. The sociology magazine also cooperates with other young talent platforms. At the conference “Endangered Constellations. Insecure orders and precarious life ”of the German Young People's Society for Politics and Social Sciences (DNGPS) , an editor of the sociology magazine moderated the panel discussion“ Precarious work (in) the university ”.
