The Journal for People’s Studies (JPS) calls for abstracts for its next issue on the theme “Development and Social Justice” Development is the essence of any nation. It is not a mere concept or a standalone philosophy divorced from the socio-economic and political factors of any given context. In most of the cases, discussion around development is reduced to a mere objective political agenda or at the best a topic to be discussed during policy discourses. There is hardly any subjective outlook from the viewpoint of justice, freedom, equality and human rights. Development of a citizenry is not possible till the issue of social justice is addressed alongside.

Social justice is a complex web of interconnected and interdependent aspects which need to be taken into account and worked to evolve a development agenda based on justice and peace. In such a context development and social justice delve deep into the shared obligation to understand and deliver freedom, liberty, human rights, dignity both as collective and individuals. For a truly just and peace loving society, it is imperative that issues concerning the most marginalised groups are given priority.

The next issue of JPS endeavours to scientifically explore the relationship, interlink and inter-dependency of development and social justice cutting across nations and communities across the globe. It would be looked through the prism of historically oppressed and marginalised groups, minorities, gender justice, social exclusion, agrarian crises and other such like issues. The broad theme “Development and Social Justice” include sub themes such as –

Development and Marginalisation
Development and Oppression
Development and Minorities (ethnic, religious, linguistic, sexual, etc.)
Development, Justice and Children

Development as Self-rule
Development as Social and Distributive Justice
Development as Distribution of values
