Scope

History
Critical Sociology was established in 1969, originally under the name of The Insurgent Sociologist. It emerged from radical agitation within the American Sociology Association in the wake of the '68 radical movement.Critical Sociology Homepage https://us.sagepub.com/en-us/nam/critical-sociology/journal201869#aims-and-scope Since then the journal has become a key pole of radical and critical research in the social sciences.
