On the one hand, it holds the potential to enhance productivity, foster innovation, and create new types of…
Journal: Contemporary Social Science
Over the past decade, the circular economy (CE) has become a central organising concept within sustainability, industrial and innovation policy at global, national and regional levels.

Journal: South Asian Review
Beyond the conventional categorization of ‘little magazines’ and ‘mainstream journals,’ book historians of South Asia have found periodicals to be archives of manifold identities and collectivities, such as those constituted by college magazines, science periodicals, proletarian magazines, caste journals, underground pamphlets, and children’s papers to name only a few. This special issue explores these diverse techn…

Journal: Cogent Arts & Humanities
The advent of artificial intelligence (AI) has precipitated a paradigm shift in the domain of moral, cultural, and metaphysical inquiries that have been the subject of prolonged study within the realms of religion and philosophy. The accelerated proliferation of generative and autonomous systems has necessitated a re-examination of the boundaries of agency, responsibility, and human creativity. This compendium of ar…
Journal: Laterality
For more than a century, handedness has stood as the canonical example of individual difference in functional asymmetry. We routinely classify people as right-handed or left-handed , perhaps allowing a small space for the ambidextrous , or carving out a variable mixed-handed group in-between. This categorical view has become so deeply naturalised that it is often taken for granted. Yet accumulating empirical evidenc…

Journal: Language and Education
In recent decades, research on writing has flourished across diverse educational contexts.

Yet during these same decades, a significant number of women, writers, playwrights, painters, critics, journalists, editors, scholars,…
Journal: World Archaeology
Finding solutions to the deterioration of our planet and its living conditions is the major challenge of our times and requires everybody’s efforts.

Journal: Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering
The construction industry is a major contributor to global carbon emissions and natural resource depletion, with conventional concrete production playing a central role due to its reliance on energy-intensive cement manufacturing and the extensive use of virgin aggregates. Rapid urbanization and infrastructure expansion, particularly across Asia, have further increased the demand for concrete while significantly acc…
Journal: Nineteenth-Century Contexts
From Spectres to the Strange: The Macabre Nineteenth Century The nineteenth century's fervent scientific ambition, discovery, and invention, shook foundational beliefs in religious orthodoxies. With the century's consistent scientific development came a slow destabilisation of society's religious foundation. Beliefs surrounding 'truths' such as a divinely-appointed anthropocentric hierarchy, a blissful afterlife, an…
Journal: Visual Cognition
Social cognition research gained a lot of insight from the application of eye-tracking. The most iconic result from Yarbus (1967) is that in free viewing of a face, some regions (eyes and mouth) are fixated more than others. Since then, eye-tracking has been widely used to study social perception of static images presented on a screen and has provided powerful insights that often constitute dedicated chapters in tex…
Journal: Western Journal of Communication
In his response to the 2002 Western Journal of Communication Special Section on “Conspiracy Rhetoric,” Steven R. Goldzwig warned of a future in which “the hothouses spawning conspiracy rhetoric will continue to proliferate, if only because the experience and speed of change and social dislocation will be intensified and the explanations for the ensuing strain will be in great demand” (p. 500). Now, nearly three deca…

Overview Cities have long stood at the crossroads of business and globalization. From medieval market towns and colonial entrepôts to industrial metropolises and financial hubs, cities have mediated the flows of goods, capital, people, and ideas that underpin capitalism in the global economy ( Beckert, 2025 ) . Urban historians have shown that cities emerged historically as centres of exchange and specialization, of…

Journal: Middle East Critique
The protests by GenZ212 youth, which have been at the forefront in Morocco since September-October 2025, have been met with brutal violence by the authorities.

They provide valuable insights into how bui…
Journal: Journal of Postcolonial Writing
This special issue aims to explore the postcolonial ocean and the concerns it raises —ranging from environmental justice and oceanic pollution to the fallouts of extractive industries —particularly in the case of the Indian Ocean, which has long borne witness to colonial aggression, postcolonial resistance, and the neocolonial ambitions of neoliberal actors. While the ocean is reckoned to underscore an ‘oceanic defi…

We currently define DLBE as programs in middle and/or high schools in which students learn language through con…
Journal: Ethics & Social Welfare
The use of artificial intelligence in child and youth welfare can help detect risks and provide professionals with valuable information and support in their decision-making process. However, the use of AI also introduces risks, such as potential biases and the problem of "black box" decision-making, where the inner workings of the algorithms are opaque. This makes it essential that professionals understand how these…
Journal: Feminist Modernist Studies
“[T]he position of the writer – at least the modernist writer – maps easily onto the position of the outsider, and some writers have famously chosen exile, precisely for the bonus of that sharp angle of vision, the bracing coolness of distance and defamiliarization” (Eva Hoffman, “Out of Exile”). We invite proposals for a special issue of Feminist Modernist Studies titled Feminist Modernist Exiles. We aim to show ho…
Journal: Language, Culture and Curriculum
Over the last decade or so, scholarly attention has increasingly turned to a (belated) exploration of linguistic racism and discrimination in higher education (HE) (Clement & Petray, 2021; May & Park, 2026). This work in turn is based on interdisciplinary understandings of linguistic variationism, language ideology, linguistic racism, critical race theory (CRT) and raciolinguistics, as well as the concept of raciali…
Journal: Middle East Critique
The relationship between Zionism and the United States has entered a new phase of visibility and crisis. The ongoing genocide in Gaza, enabled by two consecutive administrations—Democratic and Republican—has exposed a bipartisan consensus that transcends the customary divisions of US politics. Yet even as the assault on Gaza continues, the US has launched a war on Iran, a dramatic escalation that starkly contradicts…

In January 2007, Netflix transitioned from a mail-order DVD rental system to an Over-the-Top (OTT) platform, allowing customers to directly watch content over the internet. Shortly thereafter, other companies, like HBO, Prime Video, and Hulu followed suit, upending the media ecosystem. These streaming services offered an ad-free, convenient and customizable viewing, becoming a major competitor to traditional media,…
Journal: Cogent Arts & Humanities
Technology is championed for its capacity to be efficient and objective, ushering in new economic opportunities and societal benefits while feeding into a culture of relying on genAI to conduct a range of important life tasks, and in some cases, replace human labor. Large language models are, for instance, believed by many to provide users with information quickly and without the “cultural baggage” of human subjecti…

Journal: Language, Culture and Curriculum
Second or foreign language education in the Global South is not simply about developing communicative competence; it is entangled with questions of identity, politics, ideology, and cultural transmission (Blommaert, 2005; Wee, 2010). By extension, introducing foreign languages into national education systems is far from a neutral pedagogical act. It is a deeply socio-cultural and political process that recalibrates…
Journal: The History of the Family
The Nordic model, known for its combination of economic efficiency, robust welfare policies, and political stability, represents a distinctive socio-economic system in northern Europe. This model has fostered a high standard of living by merging free market capitalism with extensive welfare support. The characteristics of the Nordic model had critical effects on households’ financial behaviour. The high level of tru…

Journal: English Studies in Africa
Introduction This special issue invites scholarly contributions that reconfigure the category of “world literature” through the epistemic, aesthetic, and political lens of the Global South. Moving beyond Eurocentric frameworks that treat “world literature” as a diffusionist extension of the Western canon or as a market-driven aggregation of translated texts, we propose a critical recentering: the Global South is not…
Journal: Language, Culture and Curriculum
Studies in the domain of plurilingual policies and pedagogies have been showcasing the affective and cognitive added-value of plurilingual teaching and learning practices around an increasing number of national and educational contexts, from kindergarten to higher education (Rojas & Chandras, 2025). Yet, a growing body of literature also reveals significant tensions. Empirical studies highlight teachers’ ambivalence…

Journal: Bulletin of Spanish Studies
One of the ironies with the Spanish obsession of classifying literary and artistic histories around particular ‘generations’ is that the Generation of 1927, widely considered to be made up of innovative and avant-garde writers and artists, was constructed around the 300th anniversary of the death of Spain’s foremost Baroque poet, Luis de Góngora. Looking back to past greatness to make sense of a present reality was…

Journal: Middle East Critique
The recent critical return to the Global South has not always yielded an adequately materialist account of the historical forces that constitute it as a geopolitical, economic, and aesthetic formation. Literatures of the Global South are still too often approached through the vocabularies of trauma, memory, identity, representation, and cultural difference, while the structural conditions that organise these experie…
Journal: National Identities
In the construction and formulation of any nation and subsequent national identities, memory plays a central role, in that it is not only about the past as an event but also about the future as a vision. In a way, memory can be seen as a cartography - a moral and affective mapping of injury, responsibility and belonging, through which the nation delineates who is recognized as a legitimate subject of suffering and w…
Journal: Sikh Formations

Journal: Women's Studies
In tandem with the recent resurgence of interest in material culture, this special issue invites potential contributors to examine everyday feminist objects.

In a period marked by intensifying ecological, political, and social crises—from authoritari…
Journal: The Psychoanalytic Quarterly
Psychoanalysis and various modes of activism have been intertwined and in dialogue since the beginning of our field. Activism can be considered departure, parameter, dilution of psychoanalytic thinking, or its most important distillation and a necessary engagement with and recognition of the ever present social. Different eras, countries, and lineages of psychoanalytic theory have brought forth many sorts of activis…
Journal: British Journal of Religious Education
In the wake of rising nationalism, post-9/11 securitization, and growing algorithmic influence on youth identities, religious education faces unprecedented scrutiny and transformation.

Journal: Comedy Studies
In order to laugh about something you perceive, you must first possess knowledge. What spectators laughed about in a 17th-century staging of Amphitryon differs from what people find funny about Anakin and Padme-memes on social media today: Directly or indirectly, audiences access culturally specific knowledge, for example, of social practices, aesthetic conventions, current political debates or simply their own expe…
