About the Journal: Constraints in Humanity Research Review

Constraints in Humanity Research Review (CHRR) is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal that explores the methodological, ethical, epistemological, and practical limitations inherent in research related to human societies, behavior, culture, and identity. The journal seeks to foster critical reflection on how constraints—be they cultural, institutional, technological, or conceptual—shape the production of knowledge in the humanities and social sciences.

Aims and Scope

The aim of CHRR is to provide a scholarly platform for the examination and discussion of the boundaries, challenges, and responsibilities that accompany the study of humanity. This includes critical inquiry into the tools and frameworks used in anthropology, sociology, psychology, philosophy, history, literature, and other human-focused disciplines.

The journal invites contributions that interrogate the impact of research ethics, funding structures, institutional power, cultural bias, language, and representation on the production and interpretation of knowledge about humans and their societies.

Objectives

  • To highlight and critically examine the constraints—ethical, political, methodological, and epistemological—that influence research in the humanities and human-centered social sciences.

  • To promote dialogue on responsible, reflexive, and inclusive research practices.

  • To explore historical and contemporary case studies where constraints have impacted research design, dissemination, or reception.

  • To encourage cross-disciplinary approaches that address limitations in understanding complex human phenomena.

  • To publish original research, theoretical essays, critical reviews, and thought pieces that contribute to the advancement of socially responsible and critically engaged scholarship.

  • To serve as a platform for underrepresented voices and marginalized perspectives in global academic discourse.

Target Audience

CHRR is intended for scholars, researchers, postgraduate students, and professionals working in the humanities and social sciences, as well as those in interdisciplinary fields concerned with the ethical and critical dimensions of studying humanity.
