The Journal of Critical Realism (JCR) is the journal of the International Association for Critical Realism (IACR), established in 1997 to foster the discussion, propagation and the development of critical realist approaches to understanding and changing the world. It provides a forum for scholars wishing to promote realist emancipatory philosophy, social theory and science on an interdisciplinary and international basis, and for those who wish to engage with such an approach. Material should, as a rule, be directed at an audience across different disciplines with a shared interest in critical realism rather than a specialist disciplinary audience.
The journal publishes articles, review essays, review symposia, book reviews, debates and postgraduate interventions that relate in some significant way to critical realist approaches to understanding and changing the world.

Call for papers
Please see the announcements at the bottom of this page for recent calls for papers for two special issues. JCR aims to publish scholarly articles on all aspects of critical realism as a multidisciplinary and emancipatory/ transformative movement, and to encourage debate between critical realist and other approaches. We are currently particularly interested in empirically based studies, papers exploring the applicability of critical realism in new areas, and in engagement with critical realism from the direction of mainline realism, social constructionism, hermeneutics, postmodernism, feminist theory, Hegelianism and Marxism.
