Mind & Society is a journal for ideas, explorations, investigations and discussions on the interaction between the human mind and the societal environments. Scholars from all fields of inquiry who entertain and examine various aspects of these interactions are warmly invited to submit their work. The journal welcomes case studies, theoretical analysis and modeling, data analysis and reports (quantitative and qualitative) that can offer insight into existing frameworks or offer views and reason for the promise of new directions for the study of interaction between the mind and the society. The potential contributors are particularly encouraged to carefully consider the impact of their work on societal functions in private and public sectors, and to dedicate part of their discussion to an explicit clarification of such, existing or potential, implications.
