WaterSocial Alternatives is an independent, quarterly refereed journal which aims to promote public debate, commentary and dialogue about contemporary social, political, economic and environmental issues.

Social Alternatives analyses, critiques, and reviews contemporary social issues and problems.

The journal seeks to generate insight, knowledge, and understanding of our contemporary circumstances in order to determine local, national, and global implications.

We are committed to the principles of social justice and to creating spaces of dialogue intended to stimulate social alternatives to current conditions.

Social Alternatives values the capacity of intellectual and artistic endeavor to prompt imaginative solutions and alternatives and publishes refereed articles, review essays, commentaries and book reviews as well as short stories, poems, images and cartoons.

The journal has grappled with matters of contemporary concern for three decades, publishing articles and themed issues on peace and conflict, racism, Indigenous rights, social justice, human rights, inequality and the environment.

Please show your support by subscribing to the journal. For specific inquiries you may like to contact individual members of the Social Alternatives Editorial Collective.


What is an Editorial Collective?

Editorial decisions are made democratically by a collective.

Each edition involves the work and cooperation of a Desktop Publisher, an authorised Themed Article Editor (Guest or Editorial Collective Member), an assigned Liaison Editor (to assist Guest Editors who are not members of the editorial collective), an on-going Poetry Editor; an on-going Book Review Editor, an ongoing Short Story Editor, an on-going Non-themed Article Editor and a Cover Designer.

The Operations Manager and Coordinating Editor take responsibility for managing the editorial and publication process. After contributions are blind refereed, the editorial collective has final control over what is published.


From time to time the Editorial Collective calls on the assistance of an Advisory Board who assists with refereeing articles.
