Public Humanities is mission-driven and ethics-oriented to support impact and broader engagement across and outside the academy, and to facilitate cross-disciplinary conversations.

Like all Cambridge open access (OA) journals, Public Humanities offers open access publication to all authors regardless of their funding or institutional agreements through our waiver system. See our open access page for more details. 

Public Humanities offers flexible content formats that aim to balance academic rigor and research with accessibility and inclusivity. This approach not only facilitates the democratization of knowledge, but also acknowledges the imperative for scholarly work to relate and resonate with a broader audience beyond academia.

Public Humanities engages with a wide-ranging and cross-disciplinary audience and, in doing so, offers authors the opportunity for a broad dissemination of their research beyond the confines of a traditional journal.

Our Of the Moment section benefits from a rapid, high-quality turnaround process from acceptance to publication.

Public Humanities authors benefit from an active marketing strategy, ensuring their work engages a broad readership. Open access publication means that content can be accessed by anyone with an internet connection.
