The journal publishes works that challenge traditional gender norms and explore gender's impact on various social issues. - Health and Well-being:

Trending and Emerging
- Impact of COVID-19 on Society:
A significant increase in research addressing the social implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its effects on care work, gender roles, and educational experiences. This trend underscores the pandemic's lasting impact on social structures. - Migration and Refugee Studies:
A growing focus on the experiences of migrants and refugees, particularly in the context of recent geopolitical changes and humanitarian crises, reflects a heightened awareness of migration as a critical sociological issue. - Gender and Care Work:
An emerging theme surrounding the intersection of gender and care work, especially in light of the pandemic, highlights the importance of recognizing care as a significant societal function and its implications for gender equality. - Digital Sociology:
Increased attention to the role of digital technologies in shaping social interactions and structures, including studies on social media, online activism, and the implications of digital communication for sociological research. - Social Movements and Activism:
A rising interest in the dynamics of social movements, particularly youth activism and grassroots organizing, indicates a shift towards understanding collective action in contemporary society.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Labor Studies:
Research focusing on traditional labor markets and employment structures has become less prominent, possibly overshadowed by emerging discussions around gig economies and informal labor. - Rural Sociology:
There has been a noticeable decline in studies specifically addressing rural sociology, as urban and metropolitan issues gain more traction in sociological discourse. - Environmental Sociology:
While environmental issues remain relevant, dedicated papers focusing solely on environmental sociology have decreased, possibly due to a shift towards interdisciplinary approaches that incorporate environmental concerns within broader social studies. - Social Policy Analysis:
Research explicitly focused on the analysis of social policies has waned, as the journal's emphasis shifts towards more immediate sociological issues and their implications rather than policy critique. - Cultural Sociology:
The exploration of cultural practices and their sociological implications appears to be less frequent, indicating a potential shift towards more pressing social issues such as migration and gender dynamics.
