Soundings
A journal of politics and culture
ISSN 1362-6620
Soundings offers committed, informed and thoughtful writing on a wide range of contemporary political and cultural debates. Founded twenty years ago by Stuart Hall, Doreen Massey and Michael Rustin, its current convening editor is Sally Davison.
The journal’s theoretical framework is broadly based on the traditions of the New Left and the Gramscian tradition, but it also draws on emerging ideas from contemporary movements and cultural politics, especially ideas about intersectionality.
‘Willing to ask the biggest questions, but always rooted in the here and now: it’s a vital link between the tradition of progressive thought in Britain and the futures which all of us are working for’. Jeremy Gilbert
‘That rare forum which brings together critical thought and transformative action – always in informed and stimulating ways.’ Priya Gopal
‘…nourishes public intellectual space – without it our public culture would be diminished.’ Tariq Modood
