So Fi Zine 13 out now! Dispatch from #isawcs23
Featuring 15 new creative works of sociological fiction, poetry and visual art
Hello from the XX International Sociological Association World Congress of Sociology! I’m in Naarm/Melbourne this week consuming a whole heap of excellent sociological ideas, and am excited to have a new edition of So Fi Zine to share to mark the occasion.
Edition #13 brings you 15 new creative works of sociological fiction, poetry and visual art: stories of aliens, impersonators, exams, love letters, poems on hospitality and promises and crises and freedom, and visual art on desire and presentation/perception and the digital front stage. Thank you so much to all the contributors.

Cleaning up the World, Becky Neher
My Mother, Alice Casalini
Last Exit Plan, Ian C Smith
Old Black woman on a park bench overlooking Herne Bay, Gillian Stokes

So Fi Zine will continue this year and I’ll be calling for submissions for edition #14 via this substack soon. In the meantime, you can read all the previous editions from the past six years here.
If you are also at the ISA this week, I have a couple of printed copies of So Fi Zine #13 on me so please do say hi if you’d like one. I’ll bring some to my talk on Friday evening (in the Post-Pandemic Futures session, MCC 112 5:30-7:20pm).
