More about Oxford Intersections: Racism by Context

The lived experience of racism, for individuals and groups, involves the cumulative and connected impacts of racism operating from systemic and structural to overt and interpersonal levels across all social spheres, within contexts that carry the legacies of historical racism, often over centuries, and usually tightly interwoven with factors such as gender and class.

The Racism by Context Oxford Intersection explores this layered and multidimensional nature of racism through its structure of eleven linked sections, each of which focuses on racism in a particular sphere, each distinct but overlapping in scope with others and interdisciplinary in its content. We believe this is the first time such a systematic, integrated work exploring systemic, structural, and overt racism across social spheres has been attempted.

Racism by Context is not a handbook or an encyclopaedia; it consists of original research articles, of a similar length to journal articles but within a unique planned structure designed to utilize the digital medium to bring together all the intersecting and cross-connected aspects of a deeply interdisciplinary subject.

Accepted manuscripts will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure academic standards and relevance to the overall ethos of the Intersections project. Please see more here: https://academic.oup.com/oxford-intersections/pages/about
