Culture in Focus: An International EJournal Of Educational, Literary And Cultural Studies
Culture in Focus, an International eJournal of Educational, Literary and Cultural Studies, seeks to provide an important forum for scholarly interchange with original articles, book reviews and letters to the editor (shorter announcements, notes, queries and replies). We also welcome unpublished conference papers. Our goal is to publish high-quality original research that is both engaging and inspiring. This initiative forms a bridge between scholars from different backgrounds and different academic specialties. Although the journal is multilingual, articles in languages other than English, but with abstracts in English, will be accepted based upon the availability of readers / reviewers qualified in that language.
