The University of Chicago Department of Sociology

Publications

Publication is a central part of the scholarly enterprise. Chicago faculty publish articles and books on a wide variety of topics. The diversity is also linguistic; faculty have recently published work not only in English, but also in French, German, Chinese, and Japanese. Chicago students publish widely as well; many departmental MA papers end up in national level journals.

As a collectivity, the Department has for over 105 years published the American Journal of Sociology, the nation's most prestigious sociology journal. Edited by a faculty member who is assisted by associate editors from faculty and students, the journal publishes only the most significant of sociological work. The Journal's book review section is run by a student committee chaired by a faculty member. Participation in the AJS has become an important part of Chicago sociology education, whether it be participation in weekly manuscript meetings, selection of potential book reviewers, or reviewing manuscripts themselves.
