Write for us
We look forward to writings that explore the sociological imagination. So feel free to email us at doingsociology2020@gmail.com.
We will try to respond to every mail that is sent to us but please give us a window of at least four-six weeks to do so. Also, we are an academic blog and hence in case your piece is selected, please be patient as you will have to wait for at least two-four weeks for it to be published.
While we welcome diverse submissions, it will be useful to keep in mind the guidelines given below:
- We seek entries broadly centred on
Art, Authoritarianism, Care, Caste, Class, Communalism, Culture, Education, Elitism, Epidemics, Everyday Life, Food, Gender, Geopolitics, Health, Language, Media, Migration, Old Age, Populism, Nationalism, Prejudices, Race, Racism, Religion, Rural, State Policies, Tribe, Urban, Work, Youth.
- Please mention the categories you address in your writing. Also, give three-four keywords that you would like us to use.
- We also request authors to send a short (two-line) bio-note with their write-ups.
- We accept (in fact, look forward to) entries in all languages.
- The entries can be in the form of essays, commentaries, photo-essays, narratives, field-notes, book reviews, videos and audios. You are also welcome to suggest new genres that you might have in mind.
- If you do not have whole drafts written, and instead have story ideas, don’t worry. Write to us and we can guide you in writing them.
- In case you do not have a working draft or a story idea, but instead, a question(s), feel free to mail them to us!
- The entries should be between 800-1200 words. Please try to adhere to this as much as you can.
- We accept only Word files for textual entries. Please do not send us PDF files.
- We follow the APA style of referencing (https://apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/examples/). Also, we use endnotes instead of footnotes.
- Please send us our write-ups in Word files (.doc, .docx). The preferred font is Times New Roman, 12 points. Use justified alignment and 1.5 spacing in between lines.
- Please use the following sequence for submissions – title (capital letters), author’s name, keywords and bio-note.
- We also have a strict policy against not publishing any plagiarized material and/or previously published works.
As mentioned above, we welcome all submissions in the pursuit for exchange of sociological ideas. We, however, are particular about the quality of content we are publishing from our blog. We are also particular about not publishing any content that is hurtful and can incite hatred against any person or any community.
