About the Journal
The Citizen is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary research journal published under the Faculty of Social Sciences, dedicated to advancing critical scholarship on citizenship as a multidimensional human, social, ethical, and cultural phenomenon. The journal provides an academic forum for original research that interrogates the evolving meanings of citizenship within historical, philosophical, political, literary, religious, and socio-cultural contexts.
In contemporary societies shaped by globalization, digital communication, migration, identity politics, and socio-political transformation, the notion of citizenship has transcended its conventional legal and political boundaries. It now encompasses questions of belonging, civic responsibility, ethical agency, cultural representation, and public participation. The Citizen responds to these developments by promoting humanities-based inquiry that critically examines how individuals and communities understand, practice, and contest citizenship.
The journal encourages theoretically informed, methodologically sound, and analytically rigorous research grounded in the traditions of the Humanities. It welcomes contributions that employ qualitative, interpretive, comparative, and critical methodologies, fostering interdisciplinary dialogue among scholars from diverse academic backgrounds. By bridging classical scholarship with contemporary debates, The Citizen aims to connect academic research with societal concerns and public discourse.
Committed to academic excellence and intellectual integrity, The Citizen aspires to become a credible platform for scholars, researchers, and graduate students to engage with pressing issues related to civic life, identity formation, ethics, justice, and cultural expression. The journal seeks to contribute meaningfully to national and international humanities scholarship and to promote reflective, responsible, and informed citizenship.
