Aims & Scope

The Journal of Critical Public Health (JCPH) is a fully peer-reviewed scholarly journal that publishes empirical research and debate. We consider submissions from any discipline or perspective, so long as authors engage critically with the theory, practice or implications of public health. We recognise that both 'public health' and 'critical scholarship' are contested concepts. We are particularly interested in submissions which: take power seriously; provide innovative perspectives; have implications for policy and practice; and/or question taken-for-granted concepts.
