Partly inspired by the long-standing theme
of transformation implicit in the work of Margaret Archer and colleagues at the Centre for Social Ontology, this issue is entitled ‘The Ethical and/is the Social’; contributions share a common goal which is to combine methodological, conceptual
and empirical approaches, drawn from across the social sciences, to improve understanding of society and tackle the challenges we
face.
Truth be told, this edition is economics heavy but, as contributors variously argue, let this serve a friendly invitation from the rest of social science to economics to embrace the ‘social’ in ‘social
science’.
