A platform for social justice scholarship and debate.

The Namibian Journal of Social Justice was established to create a professional intellectual space for critical research, activist knowledge, and public debate on Namibia's most urgent justice questions.

Introduction

Why the journal exists

Namibia continues to be one of the world's most unequal nations, shaped first by colonialism and then by policies that have reproduced exclusion in the postcolonial state.

The journal responds to the need for counter-hegemonic thinking: analysis that challenges inequality, opens space for alternatives, and speaks to those affected by poverty, landlessness, unemployment, and social exclusion.

The Namibian Journal of Social Justice is unapologetically committed to social justice. It welcomes academic articles, activist accounts, opinion pieces, photo essays, case studies, and policy analysis that advance public understanding and action.
