Abstract
WES is looking for your most ambitious research. As a leading peer-reviewed journal of the British Sociological Association, WES publishes work that shapes debates across the field — from industrial relations to domestic divisions of labour — with strong international visibility and a commitment to inclusive editorial support. During the session, you’ll learn about:
- What the journal is really looking for
- Typical issues often seen in submissions related to China
- Practical guidance to overcome Pulignanotfalls
Whether you are preparing your first journal submission or planning your next publication strategy, you are very welcome to join us. We’d love to see you there — and please help spread the word by sharing this post with colleagues and friends.
