About the Journal
City: History, Culture, Society is a peer-reviewed, biannual academic journal that publishes original research articles, book reviews, and supplementary materials pertaining to urban studies.
The Journal was founded in 2016 by the Institute of the History of Ukraine of the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences and the History Department of Taras Shevchenko National University.
City intends to advance and institutionalize urban studies in Ukraine, as well as establish an international network of urban studies-focused researchers. The journal serves as a forum for interdisciplinary dialogue and welcomes contributions from experts in different humanities and social science disciplines. As an e-journal, we plan to experiment with various methods of presenting and producing content, including online lectures and e-conferences, and we are always open to other forms of collaboration.
The journal's thematic focus includes, but is not limited to, urban history, urban culture development, and the phenomenon of the city in the global historical process. We encourage submissions in the fields of economic history, historical ecology, urban folklore, and gender studies.
Academics, graduate, postgraduate, and PhD students, as well as urban activists, are encouraged to submit unpublished, original manuscripts.
The Journal is published twice yearly in English and Ukrainian. Other languages may be considered as well.
