About the Journal

Focus & Scope

RHR is an interdisciplinary journal of rights, broadly conceived. It has an international editorial board, authors, and readership. It welcomes qualitative and theoretical interventions, interpretations, and engagements with political events, institutions, cultures, and issues as they impact upon rights. It provides a forum appealing to academics and practitioners who work at the intersections of politics, culture, economy, aesthetics, philosophy, and the arts. The journal publishes innovative, double-blind peer-reviewed, and theoretically engaged articles in the humanities and the social sciences, as well as academic focus essays and is open to other forms of writing and representations on the subject. The topics may involve environmental issues, climate, sovereignty, geography, government, nation, ethnicity, race, family, gender, individual, capital, and the state. The topics may also involve emerging political debates relating to forms of subjectivities as they may be expressed in political movements, electoral politics, popular uprisings, affective flows and assemblages; or expressions in media and social media; as well as analyses of the objects and conditions of politics, ethics, and critique.

Our fields, sub-fields, and topics of interest can be found in our CFP, available in the Announcement section.
