Social Inequality and Its Consequences in the 21st Century

Guest editor: Jennifer Jarman, Lakehead University

Papers are invited that explore the relevance and impact of any or all forms of social inequality. Of special interest are papers that address questions regarding the conceptualization and measurement of social inequality, as well as its direct and indirect costs.

The bases for social inequality include but are not limited to: age, citizenship status, gender, ethnicity, health status, religion, social class, and sexuality. These could be treated separately or in combination with one another. Papers with themes and approaches that cross disciplinary divides are particularly relevant, as the main audience for the journal is a community of scholars and professional practitioners seeking interdisciplinary perspectives on issues of social relevance.

Soundly empirically based studies are preferred, although high quality scholarly essays will also be considered.

Manuscripts should follow the guidelines and usual format for submission of papers to Contemporary Social Science as indicated in Instructions for Authors at: https://tinyurl.com/pud5vem
