Social Compass (SC)

Social Compass is a long‑established, quarterly peer‑reviewed scholarly journal that has been at the forefront of research in the sociology of religion since its inception in 1953. Published by SAGE Publications, the journal provides a forum for innovative and interdisciplinary research that examines how religion intersects with broader social, cultural, political, and economic forces. Articles draw on diverse theoretical frameworks and methodological approaches to investigate religious phenomena in global contexts, including secularization and its critiques, migration and diasporic religious identities, religion and gender, religious nationalism, spirituality, and the transformation of religious institutions. Its international editorial board ensures contributions reflect a wide array of perspectives from scholars across different regions and disciplines. The journal’s bilingual (English and French) publication policy broadens its accessibility and encourages cross‑cultural dialogue within the academic community. Social Compass is particularly known for thematic issues that bring together experts to address emerging topics in the social sciences of religion, alongside unthemed sections that showcase high‑quality original research. Through rigorous double‑blind peer review and its commitment to academic excellence, Social Compass serves researchers, students, and practitioners interested in the complex and evolving role of religion in contemporary societies.
