Happy New Year! Welcomes Submissions of Original Research Articles – Please share with your networks
The newly founded Journal of Stratification Economics (JSE) in conjunction with University of California Press is pleased to announce its planned inaugural issue scheduled for 2027
The Journal of Stratification Economics is dedicated to advancing the understanding of group-based inequality on a global scale from an interdisciplinary perspective with a primary emphasis on the fields of economics and sociology. The journal is committed to exploring the multifaceted dimensions of intergroup disparities, transcending conventional explanations that focus solely on cultural factors, personal deficiencies, or distortions in credit markets. By focusing on a diverse range of groups, including but not limited to those defined by race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and phenotypical differences, the journal sheds light on the intricate mechanisms that perpetuate inequality while emphasizing the pivotal role of power dynamics.
The journal aims to foster rigorous academic discourse and contribute to the advancement of knowledge within the field of stratification economics. We encourage submissions of both original empirical and theoretical work for review and possible publication in the first few issues of the journal.
Areas of particular interest include:
- The Dynamics of Power and Group Inequality: Analyzing power structures and how they perpetuate economic disparities among various groups.
- Political and Economic Institutions: Investigating the influence of institutions on intergroup inequality and exploring potential reforms.
- Group Identification and Maintenance: Unpacking the processes that lead to the formation and endurance of group identities.
- Policy Approaches to Income and Wealth Inequality Reduction: Evaluating the effectiveness of policies aimed at reducing group-based disparities.
- Economic Policies and Impact: Assessing the outcomes of economic policies on different groups and their economic trajectories.
- Economic Ideologies and Group Disparities: Exploring how economic ideologies intersect with group inequalities.
- Cross-Comparative Studies: Comparative analyses of group inequalities across diverse geographic, temporal, and historical contexts.
- Interdisciplinary Perspectives: Welcoming contributions that draw insights from sociology, psychology, history, political science, and other relevant disciplines.
