It provides a forum for the analysis, discussion and dissemination of original research exploring the relationships between war and culture in the modern and contemporary era.

The Journal of War and Culture Studies seeks to foster genuine interdisciplinary dialogue through contributions from leading scholars and specialists in the field whilst also welcoming submissions from postgraduate students, independent scholars and early-career colleagues.
