About
Soundings
ISSN 1362-6620
Soundings offers committed, informed and thoughtful writing on a wide range of contemporary political and cultural debates. It was founded twenty years ago by Stuart Hall, Doreen Massey and Michael Rustin.
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.
