Scholarly Inquiry
What Does Education Actually Do to Society?
That question sits at the heart of every study published in IJSE. Not education as policy or curriculum, but education as a living social force — shaping identities, reproducing inequalities, and occasionally disrupting them.
Thematic Focus Areas
IJSE publishes work spanning stratification and access, the sociology of curriculum, teacher identity, and the politics of educational reform. Comparative and cross-national studies are especially welcome.
Methodological Breadth
Qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods studies all find a home here. Ethnographic fieldwork sits alongside large-scale survey analysis — what matters is rigor, transparency, and contribution to sociological understanding.
Theoretical Traditions
From Bourdieusian capital theory to critical race frameworks and post-structural approaches, the journal engages a wide theoretical conversation without privileging any single school of thought.
