Roadsides is a scholar-led and collectively run journal. It reflects and stimulates ongoing debates in the field of social science infrastructure studies.

We understand the title Roadsides as a metaphorical proxy for all sorts of engagements arising alongside infrastructure as they are imagined, contested, constructed, and maintained, and as they fall into disrepair. The journal offers space for reflection, for engaging in conversation with others, and a place to test new ideas before developing them into full-length articles and books.

All donations go to the Roadsides Association and will be spent on the fundamental operational costs of the journal, including copyediting, design and website maintenance. The Roadsides Association has its seat in Fribourg, Switzerland. The Association does not pursue commercial purposes and does not seek profit; all editorial and journalistic members of the organization are active on an honorary basis.
