Everything about Social Research totally explained

Social Research is a quarterly academic journal of the social sciences, published by The New School for Social Research, the graduate social science division of The New School. The journal has been published continuously since 1934. It has featured over 2,000 authors, including Hannah Arendt, Leo Strauss and Jacques Derrida.
   An award-winning international quarterly of the social sciences, Social Research has been mapping the landscape of intellectual thought since 1934. Most issues are theme-driven, combining historical analysis, theoretical explanation, and reportage in rigorous and engaging discussion by some of the world's leading scholars and thinkers. Articles cover various fields of the social sciences and the humanities and thus promote the interdisciplinary aims that have characterized The New School for Social Research since its inception. Recent issues have focused on such themes as "Busyness," "The Worldly Philosophers at Fifty: A Tribute to Robert Heilbroner," "Errors: Consequences of Big Mistakes in the Natural and Social Sciences," and "Courage."
   The themes selected are current, often pressing issues in world society. The themes often include a political angle, keeping in the tradition of the New School for Social Research's politically-conscious history.
   The latest issue of the journal, Volume 73 Number 3, is "Politics and Science: How Their Interplay Results in Public Policy", the publication of the conference's proceedings. Previous to that was "Fairness: Its Role in Our Lives", and "China in Transition".

Conferences

Yearly conference series, launched in 1988, publishes proceedings of conferences organized by the journal. The conferences aim to enhance public understanding of critical and contested issues by exploring them in broad historical and cultural contexts. Recent conferences have addressed "Fairness: Its Role in Our Lives," "Their America: The U.S. in the Eyes of the Rest of the World," "Politics and Science: How Their Interplay Results in Public Policy," "Fear: Its Political Uses and Abuses," "Islam: The Public and Private Spheres," and "International Justice, War Crimes, and Terrorism: The US Record." The last conference, entitled "Punishment: The U.S. Record", took place on November 30 and December 1, 2006 Social Research editor is Arien Mack. The managing editor is Cara Schlesinger.
