Cultural Studies_Critical Methodologies
Cultural Studies_Critical Methodologies is an interdisciplinary quarterly publication drawing from those scholarly traditions in the social sciences and the humanities which are premised on a critical, performance-based cultural studies agenda. Preference is given to experimental, risk-taking manuscripts which are at the intersection of interpretive theory, critical methodology, culture, media, history, biography and social structure. The mandate for this interdisciplinary, international journal is to move methods talk in cultural studies to the forefront, into the regions of moral discourse. The arrows that connect the two sides of our title designate this dialogical relationship between inquiry, critique, and methodological practice. Works will take up such methodological and moral issues as the local and the global, text and context, voice, writing for the other, and the presence of the author in the text.
Publisher: Sage Publications
Ethnography
Ethnography is a new international and interdisciplinary journal for the ethnographic study of social and cultural change.

It seeks to promote embedded research that fuses close-up observation, rigorous theory and social critique. The journal publishes pieces in a variety of formats and styles (ranging from analytical articles, epistemological tracts and photographic essays to experimental narratives) and is keen to broadcast work “fresh from the field”, including that conducted by younger practitioners of ethnography.

Higher Education
Higher Education Review
Higher Education Review is an academic journal committed to the critical examination of post school education. It is the policy of the Review to encourage fundamental discussion and to question received opinion. This is not to say that the Review has a ‘line’ on every policy question or that it represents propaganda for one particular view. Its stance is one of enquiry and criticism. There seem to be five main areas in higher education where fundamental discussion is needed. These are: What is post school education for? Who is to get post school education? What should post school education consist of? How is post school education to be organized? What are the implications of all these questions for those working in post school education?
