Sociology

This series provides an international platform for the study of the entire range of topics relating to sexual health: sexual and gender diversity, sexually transmitted diseases, reproductive health, sexual rights and sexualized violence. Incorporating both an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach, and focusing on the field in which public health, health promotion and prevention, social work, sociology and law overlap, the series publishes empirical and theoretical studies which foster a better understanding of (sexual) health and the social participation of people with different gender identities, sexualities and sexual behaviour.

With a critical perspective on the philosophy of education, the series Erziehung, Schule, Gesellschaft publishes theoretical, cultural, social, and historical research and studies on topics related to education, teaching, and learning. Particular attention is paid to interdisciplinary and international perspectives under the conditions of cultural and epistemic change in late modernity. Apart from monographies and edited volumes, outstanding academic theses in German and English are published in the series.

Analysing economic phenomena from a sociological perspective poses a number of transdisciplinary challenges which are both highly topical and relevant. This means that the complementary research fields of economic sociology and political economics are among the most dynamic areas of the social sciences in both theoretical and empirical terms. Economic sociology offers analytical perspectives on the logic of economic activity and the way it is embedded into social structures, which are arranged in a continuum of market relations, networks, organisational hierarchies and other coordinating bodies. Research papers from this field therefore deal with a vast array of subjects, ranging from entrepreneurship, innovation and organisation in the workplace to monetary economics and financial markets. Political economics complements and supplements economic sociology’s focus on action by taking institutional interaction between economic and political systems into consideration and by treating the state’s involvement in the organisation of economic processes as particularly significant. In this respect, the issue of variations in capitalist market economies in the context of globalisation assumes a central role. The series of publications entitled “Wirtschaftssoziologie und Politische Ökonomie” (Economic Sociology and Political Economics) therefore provides a forum for theoretical and empirical works from these research areas with no thematic restrictions.

Gesundheitsforschung. Interdisziplinäre Perspektiven (G.IP) is a series edited by Prof. Dr. Elisabeth André, Prof. Dr. Alexandra Manzei-Gorsky, and Prof. Dr. Claudia Traidl-Hoffmann in cooperation with the Center for Interdisciplinary Health Research (ZIG) at the University of Augsburg. The aim of the G.IP series is to take the demands of interdisciplinary research seriously and to make the latest findings from health research available across disciplines. The G.IP series publishes in two lines: First, the special issues examine current health topics from an interdisciplinary perspective and are edited by a specifically composed interdisciplinary team of experts. Second, special issues on specific questions of interdisciplinary health research are published regularly. This series publishes both monographs and anthologies written in German.
