The Journal of Critical Race Inquiry (JCRI) is currently soliciting submissions for our 2025 open issue. We invite interdisciplinary work with critical and intersectional approaches to race and racialization. In addition to scholarly essays, JCRI welcomes the submission of visual, literary, digital, and audio art and performance documentation relevant to our mandate, as well as activist roundtables, interviews, and shorter essays.

We publish work that features

• analyses of interlocking systems of oppression and of the intersectionality of race with gender, sexuality, class, nationality, indigeneity, region, religion, disability, and age;
• accounts of historical and contemporary forms of race and racialization, and of their relationships with such processes as colonization, nationalism, imperialism, and global capitalism;
• perspectives that articulate the fields of critical race studies, Black Studies, Indigenous studies, gender and sexuality studies, diaspora studies, colonial studies, postcolonial studies, and studies of decolonization;
• accounts of subjects and peoples marginalized by racial power: notably, diasporic, Indigenous, Black, and migrant people living on the lands claimed by Canada;
• and contributions of academic, activist, and aesthetic approaches to knowledge making.

While we accept papers on a rolling basis, we encourage submission by  December 15, 2024 for consideration for our 2025 issues.

Academic manuscripts should be 6000-8000 words in length and follow our submission guidelines. Artistic and activist submissions will be considered on a case-by-case basis; please contact us at mnedjcri@queensu.ca with any questions.
