Social History publishes articles, reviews and debates of high quality historical analysis. It has built up a record of innovation without restrictions on place, period or viewpoint - from medieval Christian heresy to student protest in China.

Social History is committed to exploring and strengthening cross-disciplinary approaches and encourages contributions from sociology, social anthropology, politics, economics and demography. As well as medieval, early modern and nineteenth century history, Social History aims to extend its coverage of twentieth century work and to extend further its geographical scope beyond Europe and North America.
