We
are currently accepting submissions from Graduate and Professional students for
the inaugural issue of Shared Paths:
Western’s Journal of Interdisciplinary History. The journal represents an effort to promote
an interdisciplinary discussion of past events.
Each issue will be devoted to exploring one particularly interesting
theme.
For
the first issue, authors are encouraged to submit papers which explore the
concepts of Truth(s) and (In)Justice
from any academic discipline and a variety of perspectives. Applying interdisciplinary examinations of
past events allows us to compare and contrast conceptions of truth and justice
over time and distance. The same event
may look to represent justice to one party while the opposite is often true for
the other. Over time, what is ‘true’
becomes blurred as memories fade and stories pass from one generation to the
next, from one observer to another.
History is replete with examples of how there is never one “truth” and “justice”
is not universal.
We
welcome submissions from a broad range of perspectives and approaches to the
study of Truth(s) and (In)justice,
including, but not limited to:
- War
and Conflict
- Social
Justice and Peace
- Individual
and Collective Memory
- Migration
and Ethnic Relations
- Women’s
Studies and Feminist Research
- Labour/Working
Class Struggles

- Environmental

- Religion
and Religious groups
- Politics
