Journal of Intercultural Studies showcases innovative scholarship about emerging cultural formations, intercultural negotiations and contemporary challenges to cultures and identities. It welcomes theoretically informed articles from diverse disciplines that contribute to the following discussions:
- Reconceptualising notions of nationhood, citizenship and belonging;
- Questioning theories of diaspora, transnationalism, hybridity and ‘border crossing’, and their contextualised applications;
- Exploring the contemporary sociocultural formations of whiteness, ethnicity, racialization, postcolonialism and indigeneity
- Examining how past and contemporary key scholars can inform current thinking on intercultural knowledge, multiculturalism, race and cultural identity.
Journal of Intercultural Studies is an international, interdisciplinary journal that particularly encourages contributions from scholars in cultural studies, sociology, migration studies, literary studies, gender studies, anthropology, cultural geography, urban studies, race and ethnic studies.
It is a peer-reviewed, critical scholarly publication that features articles, review essays, book reviews and symposia. Regular Special Issues provide stimulating, focused engagement with emerging practices, specific contexts, and the theoretical questions that these make visible.
