Outlines. Critical Social Studies combines critique of science, professional practice, and social issues in an attempt to intervene in public discourses and establish counter-discourses in various social fields. Outlines provides a forum for theoretical debates about the relationships between individual subjects and social structures in subjects' lives in ongoing social practice. The journal is interdisciplinary with a background and focus at the intersections of social and human sciences and philosophy which are established around the idea of practice (in its various forms: Praxis, activity, praxology, process theory etc.). Outlines gives room for open, critical debates between different positions on the role of research and the self-understanding of institutions of research and higher education.
