Nordic Journal on Law and Society (NJOLAS) is a new, peer-reviewed, open access journal published online and hosted by Umeå University, Sweden.
The journal publishes, in two annual issues, critical and interdisciplinary socio-legal scholarship of particular relevance for the Nordic region.
NJOLAS aim to provide an intellectual space and meeting-place for critical and socio-legal scholars and to develop critical approaches to law and society in its broadest sense, for example from feminist, intersectional, post- colonial, critical race, historical, socio-economic and everyday life perspectives. The journal welcomes a variety of approaches and scholarship such as theoretical papers, results of empirical studies, methodological work, reviews and work dedicated to didactics in legal education.
The journal is administered by Umeå Forum for Studies on Law and Society. NJOLAS adopts a rolling content format which enables us to post the articles as soon as they are ready for publication. The aim is to improve research communication and make research on Law and Society in the Nordic countries widely available.
This first issue, edited by professor Eva-Maria Svensson and professor Åsa Gunnarsson, is dedicated to the theme of gender equality in the Arctic.
Researching gender equality in the Arctic region produces unique knowledge with the potential to have an impact among stakeholders with an interest in how this geopolitical area is governed and developed. The issue contributes with some insights on the importance of integrating gender equality policies in the future challenges for welfare and sustainability programs for the region. Together, the articles form a socio- legal contribution to fill an identified knowledge gap about gender equality in the Arctic and in the geopolitics of Arctic.
