About

The Social Text collective edits the journal Social Text, published in print and online by Duke University Press. Social Text covers a broad spectrum of social and cultural phenomena from a radical perspective, applying critical theory and methods to the world at large. Over the years it has provided a forum for important debates on marxism, feminism, postcolonialism, ethnic and critical race studies, postmodernism, queer theory, and popular culture. 


The collective also edits this website, which publishes supplementary and independent material to the journal proper, and which hosts our blog and other community venues for discussion and debate.
