Journal of Hate Studies
After a publishing hiatus, the Journal of Hate Studies welcomes submissions of original research manuscripts and reviews for our 2026 issues.
The Journal of Hate Studies is an international scholarly journal promoting the sharing of interdisciplinary ideas and research about hate’s definitions, origins, and expressions as well as resistance to hate. JHS welcomes contributions from all scholarly fields that address hate, including but not limited to anthropology, area studies, art and film, communications, economics, history, law, literature, philosophy politics and political science, psychology, religious studies, social work, and sociology.
Our Mission
The mission of the Center for the Study of Hate, in alignment with Gonzaga University’s Jesuit identity, involves undertaking activities aimed at promoting reconciliation and overcoming hate. The Journal is peer-reviewed and publishes interdisciplinary work that scrutinizes the roots and prevalence of hate in the contemporary world. First established in the year 2001 and credited with publishing foundational work within the field of Hate Studies, the Journal has international distribution and welcomes contributions from various disciplines. Articles published in the journal examine hate in any of its manifestations (e.g. racism, misogyny, antisemitism, homophobia, religious intolerance, ethnic violence, anti-immigrant animus); consider how hate is institutionalized, maintained, or perpetrated through culture, organizations, policies, politics, media, discourses, and epistemologies; and develop, adapt, or refine the methods used for understanding or overcoming hate. The Journal reflects the optimism that as hate is understood, it can be contained and controlled, allowing for persons to reach their full human potential.
The Journal of Hate Studies is an open-access peer-reviewed publication associated with the Gonzaga University Center for the Study of Hate. The journal has been awarded the Directory of Open Access Journals seal of approval.
