Symbolic Interaction (SI) seeks papers for its special issue “Forgotten Interactionists of Color: Past and Present,” highlighting the marginalization of scholars within the tradition based on their race, and the difficulties that minority scholars still face.

Sociology and Space seeks contributions to the journal’s special issue triggered by the war in Ukraine. Deeply aware of the emotional dimension of the experience that the war in Ukraine has caused globally and sympathizing with all the victims, the editors (Mirko Bilandžić, University of Zagreb; and Ankica Marinović, Institute for Social Research in Zagreb) are also aware that the causes of war shall never be understood without research and analyses tackling it from various positions: military, geopolitical, economic, sociological, psychological, or diplomatic. We shall never understand the tragedy in Ukraine without exploring historical archive documents, demographic movements, the political context, social dynamics, religion and science, culture, education, and technology. Submission information may be found on the website. Interested authors should email an abstract of up to 500 words and a CV on one page. The deadline is September 1, 2022.
