Theory and Society is an interdisciplinary journal that values open inquiry of social facts.
Theory and Society has some groundbreaking special issues still open for submission (and word count is flexible)! Here is a look at each special issue 🧵
A strategy for developing explanatory theories in sociology | Theory and Society. (I like J.H. Turner thinking) link.springer.com/article/10.100…
New article from @ashleytrubin, in which she describes in detail the important difference between passionately held political opinions vs. actual social scientific theory-building. Click on the tweet below for a non-paywalled version of the article!

A special issue I can get behind. "The anti-police mentality in sociology and much of academic criminology is politically driven, empirically flawed, and harmful to public safety." You have a year to submit.
Nice thread on the recent @Theory_Society article by @ashleytrubin by the sociologist @jessesmithsoc
