Call for Papers

First published in 2009, The Cordillera Review (TCR) is an open-access internationally refereed electronic journal published biannually by the University of the Philippines Baguio through its research arm, the Cordillera Studies Center. It is a multidisciplinary journal devoted to the publication of both local and international studies on Philippine culture and society. Given the geographical location of the University of the Philippines Baguio in Northern Luzon, Philippines and its research thrust on indigenous studies, The Cordillera Review puts an emphasis on research about the Cordillera Region and other parts of Northern Luzon, Philippines. However, it encourages submission of national and global comparative studies and papers that contribute to the debate on theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of indigenous and upland societies such as in issues of:

• ethnicity, indigeneity and identity politics
• political economy of language, literature, media, and culture
• history and political dynamics
• socio-economic systems
• cultural policy, heritage and governance
• material culture
• environmental politics
• diasporic practices
• systems of representation
• artistic and intellectual traditions

Although it cannot accommodate scientific or empirical papers in the hard sciences, the TCR journal welcomes articles on science and technology that illuminate issues and concerns in Philippine society especially in indigenous communities in the country and elsewhere in the world.

TCR is registered with the ISSN National Center of the Philippines, administered by the Bibliographic Services Division, National Library of the Philippines. TCR ISSN: 2799- 001X.

TCR is a member of the Asian Journals Network, a consortium of humanities and social sciences journals based in universities and institutions in Asia.
