Aims and Scope

 

Aims and Scope

The Verlumun Journal of AI, Gender and Cultural Studies is a rigorously peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to the critical examination of three of the most influential forces shaping modern society: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Gender, and Cultural Formations. Our mission is to provide a platform for high-quality research that advances understanding within these specific fields. While we value interdisciplinary dialogue, the journal is uniquely designed to accept substantive contributions that focus on any one of these core pillars individually or explore the dynamic relationships between them.

Focus & Aims

Verlumun publishes critical, empirical, and theoretical scholarship within the following domains. Submissions are welcome if they address one or more of these thematic areas:

I. Artificial Intelligence & Digital Innovation

  • Advancements in AI systems, machine learning models, and algorithmic designs.
  • The technical, ethical, and policy frameworks governing AI development and implementation.
  • The role of Generative AI in creative industries, data science, and digital transformation.

II. Gender Studies & Social Dynamics

  • Critical analysis of gender norms, identities, and power structures in contemporary society.
  • Research on gender equality, feminist theory, and the performance of identity across physical and digital spaces.
  • Examination of gendered labour, representation, and the socio-political impacts of gender policies.

III. Cultural Studies & Global Narratives

  • The examination of cultural identities, heritage, and the evolution of social customs.
  • Analysis of media, film, literature, and popular culture in shaping human experience.
  • Global and decolonial perspectives that challenge dominant cultural assumptions, particularly within the Global South.

IV. Intersectional Research (Optional)

  • The impact of AI-driven systems on exacerbating or mitigating social and gender inequality.
  • Gendered and cultural biases embedded within technological datasets and facial recognition.
  • The portrayal of technology in cultural imaginaries (literature, art, and media).

Target Audience

Verlumun serves a diverse global community of researchers, academics, and practitioners across fields including: Computer Science, Gender Studies, Cultural Studies, Media Studies, Sociology, Anthropology, Ethics, and Law.

Contribution Type

We prioritize high-quality, rigorously reviewed manuscripts that offer substantive theoretical and/or empirical contributions. Unlike many interdisciplinary journals, Verlumun does not require submissions to link multiple domains. A manuscript focusing exclusively on a singular aspect—be it a technical AI study, a specific gender analysis, or a cultural critique—is sufficient for consideration, provided it meets our standards of academic excellence.
