As well as writing articles and papers, Future Agricultures members are involved in lead editorial roles in a number of prestigious academic journals.
The list below includes some of the titles where our members have a significant role.
Journal of Peasant Studies
The Journal of Peasant Studies is one of the leading journals in the field of rural development. It provokes and promotes critical thinking about social structures, institutions, actors and processes of change in and in relation to the rural world.
It encourages inquiry into how agrarian power relations between classes and other social groups are created, understood, con
tested and transformed. The Journal pays special attention to questions of ‘agency’ of marginalized groups in agrarian societies, particularly their autonomy and capacity to interpret – and change – their conditions.
Ian Scoones, joint convenor of Future Agricultures, is a member of the Editorial Collective of the journal.
