London Journal in Critical Thought
The London Journal of Critical Thought (LJCT) is an open access and peer reviewed academic journal that creates an alternative space for emergent critical thought by publishing that publishes ‘collections’ of short pieces that emerge in conversation from participation in any academic event. These collections are distinct from more traditional collections sometimes found in journals or books by virtue of both the shorter length of individual pieces as well the emphasis placed on the relationship between the pieces and the academic event. Rather than individual stand alone.
The LJCT is distinct from more a traditional proceedings journal in that the pieces are not framed as stand-alone work, each piece is rather a part of its particular collection informed by the conversations which emerged from the original event. The journal consists of a series of ‘collections’ that are typically constituted of 3 to 4 pieces (between 2000 and 4000 words each) and are preceded by an introduction from the co-editor(s) of the Collection. The LJCT originated publishing collections that derived from the London Conference in Critical Thought, but from 2023 is now open to collection submissions based on participation in any academic event.
