The Equal Rights Trust is accepting papers for the sixteenth edition of its Equal Rights Review (ERR), an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal on equality. Launched in 2008 and released bi-annually, the journal is a resource for those seeking to combat discrimination and promote equality globally.
Volume Sixteen of the ERR has a “Special” focus on Intersectionality in Promoting Equality, and articles relating to this are particularly welcomed. In addition, other contributions on all aspects of equality law, policy or practice at a national, regional or global level will be accepted for consideration. The deadline for article submissions is Thursday, 24 December 2015.
About the Equal Rights Review
The ERR contains legal, philosophical, sociological, and other social science discourses on equality and is a medium of exchange on equality issues between different national and regional experts, policy makers and practitioners. The journal’s particular focus is on the complex relationship between the different forms of discrimination, the relationship between equality and other human rights and on developing strategies for translating the principles of equality into practice. Each volume contains: a general articles section; a “Special” containing a number of articles and commentaries on one focus area; and a selection of interviews, testimony and updates relating to matters of equality and non-discrimination. Past volumes of the journal are available here.
