JCAS is looking for submissions that advance the academic study of critical animal issues in contemporary society. While animal studies is increasingly becoming a field of importance in the academy, much work being done under this moniker take a reformist, ethically detached, apolitical, non-activist, and depoliticized approach that fails to mount more serious critique of underlying issues of political economy, systems of domination, and speciesist theories, philosophies, projects, and movements. JCASis an interdisciplinary journal with an emphasis on total liberation and freedom for all. This Journal was designed to build up the common activist’s knowledge of animal liberation while at the same time appealing to academic specialists to address the important topic of animal liberation, freedom, and advocacy. We encourage and actively pursue a diversity of viewpoints of contributors from the frontlines of activism to academics. We have created the Journal for the purpose of facilitating communication between the many diverse perspectives of the animal advocacy movement. Thus, we especially encourage submissions that seek to create new syntheses between differing disputing parties and to explore paradigms not currently examined. JCAS is open to all scholars and activists. While the research and perspectives will differ, the editing of the pieces will be peer-reviewed for quality and originality. We encourage and actively pursue a diversity of viewpoints and topics. JCAS is meant to be a useful tool for academics and activists and by academic and activists to advance total liberation higher education.
