Date: 2024 July 29

From this month onwards, the Hegoa (UPV/EHU) Documentation Centre’s newspaper and periodical library will contain two new regular publications: Postcolonial Studies and Gender Issues. The newspaper and periodical library is one of the many learning, teaching and research resources offered by the Hegoa Institute.

Postcolonial Studies is a quarterly journal released by the Melbourne Institute of Postcolonial Studies that is published by Routledge (Taylor & Francis Group). It includes interdisciplinary analyses of the different ways in which colonial relations and processes shaped, and continue to shape, the world order.

It also addresses topics such as displacement and migration, climate justice and environmental ethics, gender and sexuality, the relationship between local populations and settlers, political violence and decolonisation movements.

Gender Issues is a multi-disciplinary journal that focuses on gender and gender equality in different contexts. Published by Springer, it includes political, economic and social analyses of the impact of economic, legal, political and social changes on gender identity and relations.

Hegoa’s newspaper and periodical library currently holds 215 collections in the Spanish, Basque, French and English languages. It contains journals dating back to 1979, such as Nueva Sociedad; to 1981, such as the Nicaraguan journal Envío; and 1987, such as the Journal of Modern African Studies.

In addition to the two new additions, Hegoa’s newspaper and periodical library also holds following collections: Alternatives Humanitaires/Humanitarian Alternatives; Ecología Política - Cuadernos de Debate Internacional; Gender & Development; Revista de Economía Mundial; The European Journal of Development Research; Le Monde Diplomatic; Nueva Sociedad; Papeles de Relaciones Ecosociales y Cambio Global and the Journal of Refugee Studies.
