"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

Justice, Power and Resistance

Out now: Justice Power and Resistance  

"By interrogating the multi-dimensional problem of harm, this journal sheds much needed light on the scale and scope of power, and in the process, reinvigorates debates about the role of resistance in the reclamation of justice." Bruce Arrigo, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, US 

We are relaunching Justice, Power and Resistance with a double special issue: Pandemics, policing and protest, including:

Governing the silence: the institutionalisation of evidence-based policing in modern Britain
Author: Paul R. Betts

A law unto themselves: on the relatively autonomous operation of protest policing during the COVID-19 pandemic
Author: Greg Martin

Neoliberalism, COVID-19 and conspiracy: pandemic management strategies and the far-right social turn
Author: Imogen Richards
