Welcome to In-Spire, journal of law, politics and societies

In-Spire is a multi-disciplinary journal of social sciences engaging in critical political thought on contemporary societies.

We publish original research on a broad range of topics, enabling interaction and the exchange of new perspectives between and beyond disciplines. We accept submissions on themes allied with Keele University's research at the Institute for Law, Politics and Justice. We publish papers which assess and explore the qualities and/or boundaries of particular social science disciplines or which actively attempt to engage with other disciplines.

Our themed issues pursue questions of social, political, and ethical relevance to this overall mission, while our general issues recognise the pursuit of a variety of research questions and strategies.

In-Spire is a peer-reviewed journal.
