Arumaruka was founded in January 2021 to promote the theory of Conversational Thinking propounded by Jonathan O Chimakonam and other proponents, and endorsed by the Conversational Society of Philosophy. It is indexed by AJOL, DOAJ, etc. This Journal also part of the DHET list of accredited journals for 2024-2025 (No 6027). We are also pleased to announce that the Journal is now Diamond open-access (this means that from Vol 4 onwards we will no longer require an Article Processing Charge for our open-access publications). The goal is to make Arumaruka a world-class academic journal, publishing high-quality articles that engage deeply with ideas centred around African philosophical, religious, political, sociological, historical, thinking, etc., with the aims of reclaiming, correcting and promoting accurate African narratives, and fostering continuous conversation, and system building in African scholarship. It also aims to create a platform where scholars in African philosophy and studies can present novel ideas, critique and converse with established ideas/ systems, and build on existing systems using the conversational method.

Regards!
