"Disrupt," is a new peer-reviewed international journal launched by the International Humanitarian Affairs team at the University of York. Through this publication, we aim to challenge conventional thinking and practices in the fields of humanitarian aid, sustainable development, and climate change. The name "Disrupt" encapsulates the journal's core mission: to shake up the status quo and foster innovative approaches to global challenges. Disrupt seeks to catalyze transformative change in how we address complex humanitarian and environmental issues by providing a platform for cutting-edge research, novel ideas, and critical analyses. The journal will feature a wide range of topics, encouraging interdisciplinary perspectives that bridge the gaps between academic research, policy-making, and on-the-ground implementation.
In line with its commitment to inclusivity and diversity of expression, Disrupt warmly welcomes contributions that extend beyond traditional academic articles. The journal recognizes that insights and inspirations can take many forms, and thus encourages submissions of creative pieces that illuminate humanitarian and environmental themes in unique ways. This includes, but is not limited to, poetry that captures the human experience in crises, photographic works that document the impacts of climate change or the resilience of communities, and artwork that visualizes complex data or concepts related to sustainable development. By embracing these diverse forms of expression alongside rigorous research, Disrupt aims to create a rich, multifaceted dialogue that engages a broad audience and inspires innovative thinking across disciplines. This inclusive approach reflects the journal's belief that addressing global challenges requires not only scientific analysis but also emotional understanding and creative problem-solving.
