The Journal of Applied History (JOAH) is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed scholarly journal concerned with the application of historical knowledge and insights to current matters. As such it seeks to promote long-term thinking when considering the causes and implications of present affairs and issues.
The use of the concept of ‘applied history’ enables us to move away from the rather broad and diverse field of 'public history'. JOAH promotes interventions in contemporary policy making as well as in contemporary discussions about key social issues that are based on thorough historical research. We therefore do not aim at a broad and often ill-defined audience beyond academia, but on a rather well-defined public of professional (academic) historians, policy makers, civil servants and other professionals in think tanks, government agencies and (semi-)public authorities.
JOAH encourages contributions from specialists in all branches of the humanities and social sciences who adopt a historical approach: from historians and anthropologists, to political scientists and sociologists, and from experts in the history of antiquity to those working on the very recent past, thus bringing together long-term perspectives and various approaches and methodologies.
