Do you know Radical Philosophy, though? That's a neat little journal which quite a lot of social scientists as well as philosophers read (OK probably only Continental philosophers read it). It also publishes quite short pieces. You could probably bang out/rework something quite quickly for them. Another quite interesting journal, which perhaps sits on the boundary of sociology and philosophy, is Thesis Eleven. Fair enough. Do you know Radical Philosophy, though?

I'm currently going for journals that have published material on the same topic before within Philosophy (which is why the rejection is particularly disarming in this case). I've resubmitted to another journal of the same ilk. In part it's because, given that this is a less than respectable topic, it will look better for me, my supervisors, my Department and my job prospects if I can get a little publicity within the philosophical community. I do plan to try to broaden my horizons, publication-wise. Given that I want to say in Aotearoa and my choice of topics dovetails nicely with some work in Sociology and Politics it would be good to broach other disciplines' journals, but I'd like to keep the philosophers on side as well.

I met with the editor (who is Jewish) in our beige room, and we decided that you were not fully assimilated yet. Keep toiling, and wait for the two am call. Seriously, have you considered trying to publish stuff in journals that fall loosely into the ctageory of 'intellectual history/the sociology of knowledge', rather than hardout philosophy venues?

I do somewhat face this on a daily basis, the notion that very few academics find my studies worthwhile, but it is depressing to get confirmation of that.

They must have looked at it and decided they couldn't take any more. If that can be any consolation, the last journal I sent an article to promptly folded.
