Social Sciences & Humanities

A journal for understanding people and society

The Boston Research Journal of Social Sciences & Humanities, known as BRJSSH, is the focus of this website. It provides a home for research into human experience, social relationships, institutions, and cultural expression. The journal connects perspectives from different disciplines, allowing a question explored in one field to inform debate in another.

BRJSSH welcomes original scholarship and reviews that develop ideas, examine evidence, or consider how research can inform practice and public policy. Contributions may be theoretical, empirical, applied, or centred on a case study. Its international outlook accommodates research rooted in particular communities as well as work addressing questions across countries and cultures.

Areas of research

The journal's coverage includes history and archaeology; education, language, and literature; law and criminology; political science and sociology; and family and child studies. It also encompasses culture and tourism, geography, sports and physical education, and arts and applied science. These areas offer several ways to approach questions about how people learn, live, organise, and interpret their world.

Authors can use the detailed BRJSSH scope to assess whether their work fits the journal. The main BRJSSH journal page brings together its current information and editorial and reviewers board.
