Journal of Critical Race Inquiry

Focus and Scope

The Journal of Critical Race Inquiry recognizes the interlocking nature of oppression and its intersectionality based on race, gender, social class, sexual orientation, ability, age, religion, ethnicity, regionalism etc. The journal aims to provide a foundation for Canadian scholarship on race within a North American context.

The focus will be on the social, educational, economic and cultural experiences of diasporic racialized bodies. From this lens, the journal recognizes both the convergence and divergence of the experiences of Indigenous/Aboriginal/First Nations/Métis/Inuit peoples with that of racially marginalized individuals.

The Journal Of Critical Race Inquiry

Founded in 2009, the Journal of Critical Race inquiry (CRI) is a copyrighted, peer-reviewed, bi-annual, and open-access electronic journal that uses an interdisciplinary approach to feature current research, thoughtful debate, and innovative inquiry into critical race issues.

We define 'race’ as a social construct that has no biological basis, but see the concept of 'race' as fluid, changing, culturally specific.
