About the Journal

The International Journal of Indigenous Language Media and Discourse (IJILMD), an open-access journal, aims to provide a research platform for critical engagement with issues relating to indigenous language media, diversity, identity and multiculturalism, and accommodation issues involving indigenous people and their cultures. Areas of focus include indigenous language media, diversity, and the struggles and injustices of indigenous people that are often underdocumented in mainstream literature. Although our core target field will be Indigenous language/minority language/ethnic media, the journal will also cover issues in the sub-disciplines of media studies, languages, multiculturalism, cultural studies, identity and diversity studies. It aims to create a space for scholars and practitioners engaged with issues affecting indigenous people worldwide, including their well-being and multiple forms of oppression. The journal will accept original articles (empirical research, theoretical and book reviews). On certain occasions, the journal will also publish special thematic issues. As an open access journal, it means that all content is freely available without charge to the user or their institution. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without asking prior permission from the publisher or the author. This is in accordance with the BOAI definition of open access.
