Alternate Route

Established in 1977 at the Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Carleton University, Alternate Routes is committed to creating outlets for critical social research and interdisciplinary inquiry. Alternate Routes works closely with labour and social justice researchers to promote the publication of non-traditional, provocative and progressive analyses that may not find a forum in conventional academic venues. AR seeks to be a public academic journal and encourages submissions that advance or challenge theoretical, historical and contemporary socio-political, economic and cultural issues. In addition to full-length articles, we welcome review essays sparked by previously published material, interviews, short commentaries, as well as poetry, drawings and photographic essays. AR publishes primarily special-themed issues and therefore requests that submissions be related to the current call for papers. Submissions must be free of racist or sexist language, have limited technical or specialized terms and be written in a style that is accessible to our diverse readership.
