About the Journal

Humanities Research is a peer-reviewed, open access, annual journal that promotes outstanding innovative, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary scholarship to advance critical knowledge about the human world and society.

The journal is published by the Humanities Research Centre, The Australian National University, Canberra. It was launched in 1997 and went into hiatus in 2013. In 2024, the journal is resuming publication, reflecting the continuing strength of the humanities at The Australian National University, the rapid development of the interdisciplinary, environmental and public humanities over the last decade, and the opportunities for international collaboration reflected in the resumption of international travel in 2022.

Issues are thematic with guest editors and address important and timely topics across all branches of the humanities.
