Critical Historical Studies

Aims & Scope

Critical Historical Studies is an interdisciplinary journal devoted to historical reflections on politics, culture, economy, and social life.

CHS features research on the implications of socio-economic transformations for cultural, political, and social change.

In the broad tradition of Critical Theory, CHS will explore the complex connections between cultural form and socio-economic context and promote a reflexive awareness of the researcher’s own position in the history of global capitalist society.

Critical Historical Studies publishes monographic research articles, theoretical articles, review essays, and critical reflections on current cultural, political, and scholarly issues.

The journal aims to foster interdisciplinary exchange among scholars across the entire range of the social sciences and humanities, and publishes work on all historical eras and regions of the world.
