07 March 2012: Latest Essex Graduate Journal of Sociology published

We are delighted to announce that all articles, reviews and think pieces for the 2011 (vol 11) issue of the Essex Graduate Journal of Sociology are now online as is a call for submissions for the 2012 issue.

The journal was established by Professor John Scott as an outlet for the work of Essex-based postgraduate students, allowing them to present their ideas for wider discussion among other graduates, researchers and academics. Articles present provisional ideas and research results, suggestions for further research and plans of work. All contributions are refereed prior to acceptance.

The articles here are all authored by current or recent PhD and Masters students from the Department of Sociology at the University of Essex and represent a small sample of graduate work in the Department. Most have been presented at our annual doctoral conference. There have been around 40 PhDs awarded in the last 3 years to students in the Department and there over 100 PhD students registered at any one time. Lists of titles of recently completed theses are held by the University Library and copies of any of these can be ordered through inter-library loans.
