Be among the first to publish in Gender and Justice.
Gender and Justice is a new, international and transdisciplinary journal dedicated to advancing critical feminist scholarship on justice in the social sciences, and from different methodological perspectives.
The journal aims to showcase innovative contributions that are theoretically-driven and/or empirically-grounded approaches to various forms of gender inequality, injustice and exclusion which influence and shape individuals' lives across diverse and global contexts. The editors’ conception of justice is comprehensive. It encompasses economic, social, criminal, distributive, environmental, cultural and political dimensions.
Our scope is broad and includes, but is not limited to, the following disciplines:
- Sociology
- Criminology
- Socio-legal studies
- Gender studies
- Queer studies
- Economics
- Human geography
- Ethnography
- Anthropology
