Yale Journal of Sociology
The Yale Journal of Sociology (YJS) was launched in 2000 to promote the work of the Department’s undergraduates. In 2003 it was extended to include research by the wider Department community. Issues include work by graduate students, faculty members, emeritus faculty, visiting fellows, Yale alumni and participants in our workshops, colloquia, and conferences. The aim of the YJS is to provide a window to sociological work at Yale, and to serve as a bridge with our alumni and the greater sociological community. We welcome submissions from all members of the Sociology Department, as well as suggestions for special topics, issues and papers. Full content of the YJS will be accessible for each issue on the web site, and a limited run of print copies will be made available from the Sociology Department.
