PAEDEIA: NSU Journal of Humanities, Social Sciences, and LawCall for Papers

Vol. 2, 2026

*"Online First" publication upon acceptance

*Expected print publication in December 2026

What does our future hold for the multifaceted, diverse fields of knowledge within the scope of humanities, social sciences, and law? In a world that is increasingly turning inwards, with nations tightening borders, with genocidal impulses overriding humaneness and the protection of the vulnerable, and with older, more concretized models of identity pushing to the margins the multiplicity and porosity we have come to associate with the question of identity, can a renewed commitment to interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary modes of thinking allow for a reevaluation of knowledge itself? How are we to think of the relation of the local and the global under current conditions of geopolitical uncertainty? 

As the disciplinary apparatus of a university insists on being tradition-bound, it organizes the formation of knowledge around subjects, majors, general education courses, and indeed, certificates. Therefore, to make room for a more multifaceted, dynamic approach to learning and the production of knowledge, PAEDEIA invites scholarly articles in the diverse fields of humanities, social sciences, and law.

Avenues of inquiry may be specific thematically to one of the disciplines of the humanities (classics, literature, language studies, philosophy, religious studies, etc.), the social sciences (anthropology, economics, feminist studies, gender studies, history, media-journalism-communication, political science & international relations, psychology, sociology,  etc.), and law (civil law, criminal law, constitutional law, international law, jurisprudence, philosophy of law, etc.).  Interdisciplinary engagements of issues in current affairs that bring together the research methods of the main disciplines are especially welcome. 

The journal editorial team invites submissions of fully developed papers by 31 July 2026.

Interested authors are invited to submit a paper online at the journal website after registration as author:
