Sociological Insight is a fully refereed reviewed undergraduate research journal sponsored by The University of Texas at Austin. The journal publishes first-rate undergraduate research from all over the world on topics with sociological relevance, broadly defined. Around seven academic manuscripts are published annually at the end of the spring academic semester. Submitters are entered into a paper competition and the top three papers are awarded monetary prizes.
Sociological Insight is currently the only undergraduate research journal in sociology which caters to undergraduate researchers worldwide. Each academic manuscript is reviewed by at least a faculty member, a graduate student, and an undergraduate, selected from all over the United States. Sociological Insight also features research notes and reviews of recent books in the social sciences. The first issue of Sociological Insight was published in May 2009.
Famous quotes containing the words sociological and/or insight:
“Art is a concrete and personal and rather childish thing after all—no matter what people do to graft it into science and make it sociological and psychological; it is no good at all unless it is let alone to be itself—a game of make-believe, or re-production, very exciting and delightful to people who have an ear for it or an eye for it.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“Let him [the President] once win the admiration and confidence of the country, and no other single force can withstand him, no combination of forces will easily overpower him.... If he rightly interpret the national thought and boldly insist upon it, he is irresistible; and the country never feels the zest of action so much as when the President is of such insight and caliber.”
—Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
