Successful applicants are awarded $5,000 to run a workshop that will advance research within sociology and showcase TASA as the face of sociological/interdisciplinary research in the region; engage with issues of national concern; advance knowledge; support innovative ideas, and, have the potential of feeding into policy and practice development.

New Worlds of Logistical Labour – spaces, places, technologies, workers

This special issue aims to assemble papers located at the interface between studies of work, labour and the evolving field of critical logistics. It intends to address the core question: what exactly is new about ‘new’ work and labour in logistics?
Muslim women in the 21st Century: Agency, influence, lived experience
Religions: a Q1-ranked, peer-reviewed, open-access journal
Muslim women are often portrayed monolithically in popular as well as political discourse. Even the academe has, at times, been dominated by an Orientalist gaze that exoticises the “Muslimwoman” to use miriam cooke’s neologism. This special edition aims to challenge this homogenizing discourse by featuring a range of diverse voices and perspectives.
