Relevance and all that: PINS at 30
Abstract
So, Psychology In Society (PINS) is 30 years old now.
I have always admired the journal, mostly for the obvious reason – namely that it publishes politically engaged and theoretically sophisticated material rather than the paint-by-numbers empirical junk that fills the pages of most other journals in psychology. But more than that, I have also always loved PINS for its steadfast quirkiness – produced on a near-zero budget and purveying deeply scholarly Marxist, Foucaultian, Lacanian analyses alongside occasionally entirely fresh new perspectives apparently thumb-sucked by undergraduates (with the authorship cheekily given as “anonymous”).
