 * AFRICAN DISABILITY RIGHTS YEARBOOK
   
   The African Disability Rights Yearbook aims to advance disability
   scholarship. Coming in the wake of the United Nations Convention on the
   Rights of Persons with Disabilities, it is the first peer-reviewed journal to
   focus exclusively on disability as human rights on the African continent. It
   provides an annual forum for scholarly analysis on issues pertaining to the
   human rights of persons with disabilities. It is also a source for
   country-based reports as well as commentaries on recent developments in the
   field of disability rights in the African region.

 * JOURNAL OF DECOLONISING DISCIPLINES
   
   The Journal of Decolonising Disciplines examines the relationality between
   higher education and society, revealing their dialectical relationship. It
   provides an intellectually unique space for considering responsive and
   cutting-edge research across all disciplines, and centres higher education
   and its role in transforming and developing society. It is an open access
   journal and aims to probe, develop and critique decolonising strategies in
   the broader context of contemporary social issues. The Journal is dedicated
   to the theoretical development of decoloniality and Indigeneity in higher
   education and is constituted as a space that fosters and facilitates the
   decolonisation of all disciplines through rigorous intellectual work in the
   context of South Africa, Africa and globally. It addresses contemporary
   issues and their relationship to curriculum changes in higher education,
   while being responsive to the needs and political, social and economic
   challenges of Indigenous peoples of the global South.
   
   We encourage scholarly submissions from all disciplines, using a range of
   methodological approaches. As an intellectual community committed to
   decolonial and decolonising scholarship, the Journal encourages decolonial
   research in all areas in order to foster responsive pedagogies within the
   knowledge domain. Contributions from scholars working in the areas of
   decolonial studies, education, commerce, the sciences, legal studies,
   critical theory, postcolonial theory, epistemology, metaphysics and violence
   are encouraged to develop and frame the South African decolonial project in
   higher education. The editorial board will consider proposals for special
   issues relevant to the aims outlined above.

 * JOURNAL OF THE DIGITAL HUMANITIES ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHERN AFRICA
   
   The Journal of the Digital Humanities Association of Southern Africa (DHASA)
   is a peer-reviewed open-access journal of DHASA. Since its foundation in
   2016, DHASA has become the official network of digital humanities scholars in
   Southern Africa. DHASA members come from a wide variety of fields in the
   humanities, social sciences, and computer sciences.
   
   Our scope includes computational linguistics, human language technologies and
   literary studies, digital arts, and media. Technology criticism, digital
   library studies, information, and archive studies, are some of the major
   fields. The list is by no means exhaustive.
   
   We welcome all scholarly reflections within the broader gambit of the Global
   South, meaning we not only encourage contributions from the geographical
   location of Southern Africa but also those viewpoints that represent the
   issues and concerns of digital humanities from this regional and idea sphere.
   
   One of our key goals is to develop a ‘methodological commons’, “providing
   guidance in the development of standards and expertise to promote best
   practice in digital humanities teaching and research.” Another aim is to
   create a much-needed dialogue and critical reflection on digital humanities
   teaching and research to provide a voice and channel for debates on pertinent
   issues.
   
   The DHASA Journal is an important initiative aimed at making the research
   output of our members and other interested scholars publicly available.
   
   The journal is published yearly, where the proceedings of the bi-annual DHASA
   conference is published in the odd-numbered years (e.g. DHASA2021) and
   special thematic issues appear in the even-numbered years.
   
   If you are interested in joining DHASA, please follow this link.

   The Association holds a biennial conference which is hosted successively by
   history departments at South African universities. We welcome collaboration
   with historians from across the world who specialise in southern African

   opportunities to post-graduates and early career researchers in the field. We
   boast a diverse group of members that include professional academic

 * THE PRETORIA STUDENT LAW REVIEW
   
   The Pretoria Student Law Review (PSLR) at the University of Pretoria is a
   student-driven initiative that provides an interactive forum for students,
   academics, and legal professionals to discuss topical legal matters. The
   approach is experimental, investigative, and sometimes challenging - it is
   not conventional. South Africa, the continent and the world at large are on
   the cusp of a new era - socially, economically, and politically. With the
   uncertainties that the future holds, law students are at the duty to utilise
   the unique position that they are in to challenge the status quo. Students
   must not be complacent; they must strive for the enforcement of the rule of
   law. They are encouraged to ask questions, and demand answers. Students are
   also encouraged to be relentless in their search for truth and justice. The
   PSLR provides a forum for critical thinking, argument, and debate.
