Social sciences seem dull or irrelevant to the broader public, but they are deeply connected to everyday life.

World issues are not inherently boring, but the way they are perceived makes them seem so. Join us as we make social sciences cool.

What topics do we accept?

Sociopoliticool accepts article submissions on a wide range of topics within the social sciences. Below are the primary categories you can write about:

  • Anthropology – Indigenous cultures, social customs, or how globalization influences cultural identity and practices.
  • Arts – Cultural, social, and political significance of artistic expression.
  • Economics – Macroeconomic trends, behavioral economics, or the social impact of economic decision-making.
  • Geography – Environmental policies, migration, cultural landscapes, and how geography influences political and economic systems.
  • History – Historical perspectives that help explain contemporary dynamics.
  • Linguistics – Sociolinguistics, language and identity, endangered languages, and how communication shapes human interactions.
  • Political Science – Political ideologies, government structures, lawmaking processes, or the role of political activism in shaping societies.
  • Psychology – Political psychology, media influence, mental health, decision-making processes, and the intersection of psychology with broader societal trends.
  • Sociology – Structures and institutions that shape society, including social movements, race and ethnicity, gender and sexuality, and cultural norms.

These categories are broad, and we welcome interdisciplinary approaches that combine insights from multiple fields. If your article aligns with social science discourse and contributes to meaningful discussions, we encourage you to submit it for review.

How to be accepted?

Articles must be original and unpublished elsewhere, with plagiarism resulting in immediate rejection.

The tone should be conversational but not overly casual, suitable for an audience that includes social science professionals, students, and enthusiasts. While technical terms may be necessary, excessive jargon should be avoided, and any specialized language should be clearly explained.

If making statements, writers should cite credible academic sources such as peer-reviewed journals, books, and reputable news and research organizations. Whenever possible, sources should be referenced through hyperlinks rather than footnotes.

Each submission should include a clear introduction, well-structured body paragraphs, and a section at the end that effectively closes everything. Read the articles below to learn about our style!

How to write for us?

If this is the first time you are submitting an article to us, please fill out the form provided.

Tell us what you want to write about, and we will let you know via email if we are interested. You can submit a draft if you have it, but it is not required.

If we give the go signal, some things to keep in mind:

  • The article must have a minimum of 600 words.
  • Be respectful and inclusive, meaning avoid discriminatory language.
  • Be fair when discussing sensitive topics.
  • If submitting images or graphics, ensure they are copyright-free or properly credited.

Only submit an article if you agree to our editorial review process and accept that minor edits may be made for clarity and consistency.

Do we pay writers?

We don’t pay contributors, but you can add one link to your website or social profile in the article.

You will also have an author page where your articles are found. You can use that as a portfolio.
