Comparative Social Research

Comparative Social Research (Nordic) er en årbok som søker å utvide de internasjonale orienteringene i samfunnsvitenskapene. På tross av den voksende bevisstheten om globalisering, foregår hoveddelen av empirisk samfunnsvitenskapelig arbeid innenfor rammene av hva Stein Rokkan betegnet “nasjonal empirisme”. Årboken søker å utvide de internasjonale orienteringene i samfunnsvitenskapene. Hver årgang er konsentrert om et bestemt emne, hovedsakelig av substansiell, men også av metodologisk art. Som en hovedregel presenterer og sammenligninger artiklene to eller flere sosiale forhold eller enheter, det være seg nasjoner, regioner, organisasjoner eller kollektiver aktører til ulike tider. Temaene i de siste årgangene har vært komparative studier av universitetet som institusjoner for produksjon og diffusjon av kunnskap; familiepolitikk; regionale kulturer; og institusjonelle aspekter ved arbeid og lønnsdannelse.

Rooted in the politics of its Nordic location, the journal recognizes and conveys in particular the situatedness of Nordic feminist research.

In effect, the journal partakes in larger intranational conversations on gender and other intersecting categories of analysis. Nora is thus a forum for transversal conversations, creative and critical feminist thought, and comparative perspectives. Acknowledging the need to speak across borders, Nora challenges academic and disciplinary, linguistic and national limits and boundaries. Situated in the Nordic context and international in scope, the editors welcome contributions from all countries, and from across the full kaleidoscopic range of feminist political, empirical and theoretical standpoints.
