Date: Tue, 30 Jun 1998 17:57:50 +0100 To: scrol-list@soc.surrey.ac.uk From: Stuart Peters Subject: Sociological Research Online, vol 3 issue 2 Sociological Research Online http://www.socresonline.org.uk/socresonline Dear Colleagues, Volume 3 number 2 of Sociological Research Online was published earlier today. A list of the contents appears below, but there two other things that I would like to draw to your attention. There is a new call in this issue - 'A Class Call'. This encourages the submission of papers that might challenge current notions of 'class' and broaden interpretations. In particular I would like submissions from, and/or concerning, Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia and Latin America. I wish to explore the truly international nature of Sociological Research Online beyond the possibilities of traditional print journals. Full details of the call can be read in this new issue. Of course, regular sociological papers, as well as papers concerned with other ongoing themes, including 'Social Transformation' and 'The Future of Sociology', are equally welcome. I would also encourage you to take a few moments to fill in our readers' survey. This will help us with an ongoing evaluation of Sociological Research Online. I would be extremely grateful if you could spare the time to give us feedback which will help us to improve the journal further. As usual, I hope that you continue to enjoy Sociological Research Online and of course that you will continue to consider the journal as a possible outlet for your own research - simply post articles on disk to the address in the signature below, or email them to . I look forward to hearing from you.
