Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare (JSSW)

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare (JSSW) is a peer-reviewed journal sponsored jointly by Western Michigan University, the College of Health and Human Services, and the School of Social Work. The most recent two years of JSSW are only available to subscribers and from computers on the WMU campus. Articles older than two years are available open access to all. Please note that as of 2020 Volume XLVII, the Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare moved to an online format. Subscription prices will include a single print issue of the most downloaded articles from the volume (March - December) which will be printed and shipped late summer. The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare promotes the understanding of social welfare by applying social science knowledge, methodology and technology to problems of social policy, politics, the social ecology, and social services. Since its first printing in 1974, JSSW has published articles on such topics as social change, gender, race, homelessness, social welfare history, cultural diversity, international social welfare, and the social dimensions of health and mental health. It also features an outstanding book review section as a regular feature of each issue. JSSW is published quarterly in March, June, September and December of each year. At least one issue in every year is dedicated to a special theme. For instance, in March 2018, a special issue was published entitled “Dimensions of Charity versus Development.” The Editorial Board includes outstanding scholars such as Mimi Abramowitz, Katharine Briar-Lawson, Mary Caplan, Alice Johnson-Butterfield, Susan Robbins, and Wilma Peebles-Wilkins.
