Aims and Scope

Structure & Sense publishes interdisciplinary research on the relationship between technological systems, organizational forms, and human meaning in modern societies. The journal provides a venue for work that examines how rationalization, automation, and the division of labor reshape social life, transform work, and alter human understanding of purpose, agency, and value.

We welcome theoretical and empirical contributions from sociology, anthropology, philosophy, history, and related fields that explore the cultural, organizational, and existential consequences of technological and bureaucratic change. The journal is open to work originating outside the social sciences and humanities provided that it takes the social as its primary object of analysis — that is, work that examines the implications of technological or organizational systems for human life rather than their technical optimization.

The journal does not publish purely prescriptive or policy-advocacy work without substantial empirical or theoretical grounding, technical research that does not engage the social dimensions of its subject matter, or organizational research that accepts rational administration as a given rather than treating it as an object of inquiry.

The journal favors conceptually ambitious, methodologically transparent, and substantively grounded scholarship that bridges social science and the humanities to illuminate how structure and sense are made — and remade — in the modern world.
