Global Social Challenges Journal

Global Social Challenges Journal is a non-profit Open Access publication with a mission to address urgent global social issues while breaking down academic silos. We publish on 16 themes which are linked to, but not limited by, the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. This includes Justice, law and Human Rights.

Bronwen Morgan

"As an interdisciplinary socio-legal scholar, I am delighted to join a team of Co-Editors in Chief which spans all of the disciplines which infuse my field with diverse insights about the important role that law plays in society. To this exciting disciplinary mix, Global Social Challenges Journal adds a geographical spread that respects our collective interdependence in facing the many wicked problems we have generated, and a commitment to do so with respect for different forms of knowledge and enquiry. Finally, I am inspired by the journal’s creative approach to encouraging policy, debate and provocations alongside more traditional research articles, as well as the not-for-profit business model that importantly underpins the journal’s commitment to open access"

Bronwen Morgan is Professor of Law and Justice the University of New South Wales, Australia
