I am pleased to inform about a new international scientific journal
dedicated to qualitative sociology.  Please, send forward this message
to those persons (and also other institutions, universities or
organizations) which would be interested in it. We hope that you will
decide to become a reader and author of articles for the Qualitative
Sociology Review. We look forward to your papers and invite you to
visit journal's website as often as possible.

Call for papers:
Special (thematic) call for articles examining the state of
biographical sociology generally, to demonstrate the variety, strengths
and developments within current 'biographical sociology' in
different areas and countries.

The Special Issue will also consider contributions from related
disciplines which point out ways in which biographical sociology can
benefit from work outside sociology, and in turn, identify areas of
possible collaboration.


Possible topics for the proposed Special Issue:

- in reflecting on your work using biographical materials - or other
work in your area  - are there particular methodological
developments, new insights or major challenges which you believe
important for the field of biographical sociology in general and could
be addressed more fully by the journal issue?

- what benefits to your substantive area of research (e.g. health,
welfare and related areas) has resulted from your use of biographical
materials? What kinds of dis/continuities in terms of issues,
developments, types of research can be traced in your area/country?

- what has the use of biographical materials given to 'theory and
concept building' in your area?

- are there areas, issues, questions in - or ones relevant to -
biographical sociology which have perhaps been neglected and require
development (e.g. visual sociology)?

Open (non-thematic) call for various papers devoted to the qualitative
sociology. All sociologists for whom interpretative paradigm and
qualitative research methodology are basic perspectives of a social
world investigation, are welcomed to submit their articles and support
our initiative. There will be published empirical, theoretical and
methodological articles applicable to all fields and specializations
within sociology.
