Editor-in-Chief: Martin Ovens

This international, peer-reviewed journal seeks to encourage and promote research in non-western and cross-cultural philosophy. This may include scholarship typically identified, defined or characterised as comparative philosophy, intercultural philosophy or global philosophy. In addition, the journal offers opportunities to publish research that explores or analyses relations between philosophy, culture and dialogue. In this way Culture and Dialogue provides a forum for scholars in many subfields of philosophical studies.

The Incredible Nineteenth Century: Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Fairy Tale (I19) seeks to publish the best scholarship on the century that was, in many ways, the time period in which the modern genres of science fiction and fantasy began, and in which the academic study of fairy tale and folklore has its roots.
