Founded in 1922 by pioneering sociologist and social activist Howard Odum, Social Forces is recognized as a top journal of social research in the U.S. and internationally. Though it highlights sociological inquiry, the journal also explores realms shared with social psychology, anthropology, political science, history, and economics. Each issue includes 16 peer-reviewed articles; book reviews are posted online. The editors, past and present, acknowledge the stimulating and increasingly international nature of today’s social science community and how this is reflected in the journal. Social Forces is published by Oxford University Press. For information on Social Forces (including how to submit papers), please click here.

*Though the Sociology Department uses the name Pauli Murray Hall for our building, on official maps you will find it as Hamilton Hall. In July 2020, all of the departments housed in the building agreed to adopt the name Pauli Murray Hall because of Professor Hamilton’s role in shaping history for the benefit of white supremacy and Murray’s legacy of advocacy for the rights of all members of society. An official request with the Chancellor is pending. For more information, please see here.
