Ethnic and Racial Studies – 50^th Anniversary, 2027

For 50 years, Ethnic and Racial Studies has stood as the leading international journal for the analysis of race, racism, ethnicity, migration, and forms of ethno-nationalism. Since its founding, this journal has been at the forefront of examining the social phenomena that lie at the heart of many of the major social and political issues shaping our world.

As we celebrate this exciting milestone, we reflect on our enduring commitment to providing an interdisciplinary academic forum for groundbreaking research and theoretical analysis. Drawing on diverse fields including sociology, social policy, anthropology, political science, international relations, geography, history, social psychology, and cultural studies, Ethnic and Racial Studies has consistently championed rigorous scholarship that advances our understanding of these critical issues.

Throughout our five decades of publication, we have actively welcomed contributions from new and emerging researchers, fostering generations of scholarship in these vital fields. This commitment to nurturing fresh perspectives and innovative voices has been central to our mission and our impact.
