About Us

The Journal of Intersectional Analysis is an international journal launched to provide expression to the complex categories of class, gender, nationality, disability, and other identities. The journal aims to be a leading source of scholarly research into how we understand the idea and application of ‘intersectionality’ not only in its broad nature but also the very nuances of it as are increasingly relevant in today’s day and age.

Standards for Submission

The Theme of Submissions: We take submissions relating to all themes of intersectionality. The Journal is interested in exploring original ideas, the editorial board will help authors to better the idea. We encourage the authors to send submission, we do not look forward to rejecting articles necessarily unless they divulge from the central theme.

Language: The Journal of Intersectional Analysis only publishes pieces in English.
