  Journal of Sustainable Transitions

  The Journal of Sustainable Transitions (JST) is an interdisciplinary journal committed to exploring the role of creativity in advancing sustainable development. It serves as a platform for research, dialogue, and innovation at the intersection of sustainability science, engineering, materials, built environment, the creative arts and design that supports the transition towards a greener future. 

  The journal aims to publish articles that support systemic transitions toward a more equitable, resilient, and ecologically sound society. This aligns closely with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly:

  • SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities – by promoting sustainable design and urban innovation.
  • SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production – through research on circular economy practices in creative industries.
  • SDG 13: Climate Action – by showcasing creative responses to climate challenges.
  • SDG 4: Quality Education – by fostering sustainability education through creative pedagogy.
  • SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals – by encouraging interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration.

  The journal welcomes contributions that integrate theory and practice, challenge dominant paradigms, and propose new models of living and making. Topics include eco-design, regenerative architecture, environmental storytelling, community-led sustainability initiatives, and the cultural dimensions of ecological transitions.

  By bridging academic research with real-world impact, the Journal of Sustainable Transitions seeks to empower creative communities to lead in shaping a sustainable future. It values diverse methodologies, global perspectives, and inclusive approaches that reflect the complexity of sustainability challenges.

  Ultimately, the journal aims to be a catalyst for change, fostering creative solutions that make meaningful contributions to achieving the SDGs.

  Journal of Design and Craft Studies

  The Journal of Design and Craft Studies (JDCS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal dedicated to publishing original, rigorous, and impactful research across the full spectrum of design and craft disciplines. JDCS provides a transdisciplinary platform that brings together theory, practice, and reflection, fostering innovative methodologies and critical perspectives.

  Aims

  Building on the integrative spirit of design discourse, JDCS examines the cultural, social, economic, philosophical, and technological dimensions of design and craft. The journal’s mission is to advance design and craft-driven inquiry that not only interrogates aesthetic and technical practices but also addresses broader socio-technical, political, and cultural systems. We also invite practitioners and practice-based researchers to submit their work with a strong practice orientation. 

  JDCS encourages work that explores:

  • The role of design and craft in shaping socio-technical and socio-political environments
  • The intersections of material practices, innovation, ethics, and emerging technologies
  • How design and craft contribute to social justice, inclusion, sustainability, and cultural resilience
  • The ways in which design thinking, craft knowledge, and creative methodologies generate new forms of value, cultural, economic, and social

  We welcome submissions that advance fresh and meaningful scholarship from African and global contexts. These include theoretical, methodological, historical, and practice-based contributions; research that critiques or redefines design and craft knowledge; and work that centres regions marked by austerity, inequality, repair, maintenance, and invisible labour. JDCS values research that draws from diverse epistemologies, including indigenous knowledge systems, intersectional analysis, and science and technology studies, to deepen understanding of material culture, making, and design in contemporary life.

  By promoting dialogue between traditional and contemporary approaches to material arts and design, JDCS aims to cultivate a vibrant research community that challenges boundaries, nurtures interdisciplinary innovation, and expands the future of design and craft studies.

  Scope

  The Journal of Design and Craft Studies welcome submissions that question established norms of design and craft practice, highlight ignored forms of labour and making, and engage critically and creatively with the evolving relationship between design, craft, technology, and society. We support research that fosters new forms of collaboration across disciplines, regions, and knowledge systems.

  We invite contributions in areas including, but not limited to:

  • Ethics and AI in human-centered design and craft
  • Design and craft innovations
  • Sustainable practices and policies
  • Psychology, education, and pedagogy
  • Culture and heritage preservation
  • Design, Power, and Social Justice
  • Philosophy, Theory, and Methodology in Design and Craft Research

  The journal warmly welcomes academics, industry professionals, policymakers, and students, offering a thoughtful and engaging space for conversation and discovery. We happily invite submissions that use a variety of approaches, whether they are quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods and that share insights from a global, regional, or local viewpoint.

  By fostering collaboration across disciplines and sectors, the Journal of Sustainable Fashion Business seeks to shape the future of fashion through research that is insightful, impactful, and inclusive.
