A JOURNAL OF CRITICAL SOCIAL RESEARCH (ISSN: 1923-7081)

Description

Established in 1977 at the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Carleton University, Alternate Routes' central mandate has been to emphasize creating outlets for critical social research and interdisciplinary inquiry. A scholarly peer-reviewed annual, AR works closely with labour and social justice activists to promote the publication of non-traditional, provocative and radical analyses that may not find a forum in conventional academic venues. AR seeks to be a public academic journal and encourages submissions that advance or challenge theoretical, historical and contemporary socio-political, economic and cultural subjects and issues. In addition to full-length articles, we welcome review essays sparked by previously published material, interviews, short commentaries, as well as poetry, drawings and photographic essays. AR publishes primarily special-themed issues and therefore requests that submissions be related to the current call for papers. Submissions should be free of racist or sexist language, have limited technical or specialized terms and be written in a style that is accessible to our diverse readership.
