Humanity and Society

The official journal of the Association for Humanist Sociology was first published in 1977 and has been published quarterly since 1978. Humanity & Society is a peer-reviewed journal with abstracts of published articles appearing in Sociological Abstracts.

Humanity & Society publishes articles on a wide variety of topics: studies of inequality (class, race, and/or gender); war, peace, and international relations; aging and gerontology, family, gender and sexuality; health and mental health; social theory; sociology of knowledge and science, and linguistics; social psychology, teaching and sociology practice; social change, humanism and human rights; crime and deviance; ethnic and intergroup relations, and others. Articles may be theoretical and/or speculative, critical essays, or analysis of data utilizing various qualitative and quantitative research strategies. Theoretical orientations may be eclectic, Marxist, feminist, critical theory, symbolic interactionism, humanistic sociology - i.e., contributing to a more humane and egalitarian society.

The Editor of Humanity & Society is Kathy Tiemann, University of North Dakota.

As the editor of Humanity & Society, I cordially invite you to submit the paper you presented at the annual meeting last year for possible publication in Humanity & Society. In addition to publishing articles, we also publish activist notes (which describe activism the writer has participated in or observed), book review essays and audiovisual review essays.  In keeping with the values of the membership, H&S uses an open review process where authors and reviewers are identified.  Moreover, the editorial staff is committed to mentoring new scholars to facilitate their professional development.
