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.

The Journal of Intersectional Analysis accepts submissions in the following categories.

This category is majorly designed for a comprehensive sustained analysis of a legal or sociological topic taken up by the author. These can also be argumentative articles provided you are able to back up your claims with evidence. There must be an analysis that is being drawn and the author should ideally give a few constructive suggestions at some part of the article. The same principle is applicable for submissions in the field of the social sciences.

The aspect of case notes and legislative comments are very relevant and an integral part of this journal. Here, we are inviting concise arguments around any relevant or prevalent legal controversy.
