Aims and scope

Established in 2025, Journal of Social Development and History publishes high quality and innovative historical scholarship without restrictions of period or place. This peer reviewed journal, published quarterly, encourages research articles that take as their starting point much longer periods of time than is now the norm, and have an ambition of scale that is commonplace in historical sociology, historical geography and demography. Case studies, particularly when integrated with broader considerations, will continue to have their place in the pages of Social History.

The journal wishes to broaden its scope by publishing more material on the medieval period and the contemporary, including the present and very recent past. In so doing, Social History will explore the liminal zones that mark the points of rupture and continuity between late antiquity and the medieval, and between the present and the future.
