CALL FOR PAPERS

Call Deadline: March 18, 2022

Ibadan Journal of Humanistic Studies (IJHS) is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal published by the Faculty of Arts, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria. Founded in 1981, IJHS is an annual publication which serves as an interdisciplinary forum for the presentation and discussion of issues of broad humanistic relevance. Preference is given to articles related to the African experience and environment, but there is also room for issues that embrace the larger international order or human culture from which the African world may derive valuable comparative insights.

Editorial Advisers:

·       Prof. Niyi Osundare, University of New Orleans, USA

·       Prof. Jane Plastow, University of Leeds, UK

·       Prof. James Briggs, Bristol University, UK

·       Prof. Dan Izevbaye, Bowen University, Iwo, Nigeria

·       Emeritus Prof. Ayo Banjo, University of Ibadan, Nigeria

·       (Please see current edition for an updated list)

The IJHS hereby invites original papers for its Volume 31. Articles must be innovative in their interrogation of issues and discourses that advance humanistic understanding of human and African experiences.

Manuscripts should be sent as Ms Word attachments to ijhs@ui.edu.ng
