A consistent focus on gender issues, exploring themes such as gender equality, women's agency, and intersectionality, particularly in the contexts of social movements and policy analysis. - Impact of Digital Media:

Exploration of themes related to economic inequality, meritocracy, and distributive justice, providing critical insights into the socio-economic structures affecting marginalized communities.
Trending and Emerging
- Post-Censorship and Digital Activism:
Emerging discussions around post-censorship reflect growing concerns about political alienation, particularly among younger generations, as they engage with digital platforms and challenge traditional media narratives. - Socio-Emotional Wellbeing in Crisis Contexts:
Research focusing on the socio-emotional processes of individuals in crisis situations, such as the Covid-19 pandemic, highlights the importance of mental health and community support mechanisms. - Intersectionality in Policy Analysis:
There is a rising trend in examining intersectionality within policy frameworks, particularly regarding gender equality and diversity policies, to address complex social identities and experiences. - Community Resilience and Self-Management:
Analysis of community resilience, particularly in response to crises, emphasizes local self-management and grassroots movements, showcasing the agency of marginalized groups. - Digital Identity and Youth Culture:
Exploration of how digital identities are constructed among youth, particularly in the context of social media, reflects broader societal shifts in communication and self-representation.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Gender Roles:
While gender issues remain a focus, traditional discussions surrounding fixed gender roles are being replaced by more nuanced explorations of gender fluidity, intersectionality, and agency. - Historical Analyses of Social Movements:
There has been a noticeable reduction in papers focusing solely on historical perspectives of social movements, with a shift towards contemporary analyses that emphasize current dynamics and digital activism. - Rural Studies in Isolation:
Research specifically centered on rural studies without a broader social context or connection to urban dynamics is becoming less common, as interdisciplinary approaches gain traction. - Static Models of Social Inequality:
The journal is moving away from static analyses of social inequality that fail to account for dynamic and fluid socio-economic conditions, favoring studies that incorporate changing contexts and agency.
