About
The Peter McMullin Centre on Statelessness and the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion (ISI) established the Statelessness and Citizenship Review (SCR) in 2019. The SCR is the first journal to be entirely dedicated to advancing the understanding of statelessness and related citizenship phenomena and challenges, helping to meet the growing demand for the exchange of ideas and knowledge among scholars in the blossoming field of statelessness studies. The Editors-in-Chief are Prof. Michelle Foster (Peter McMullin Centre) and Dr. Laura van Waas (ISI).
The Statelessness and Citizenship Review is a peer-reviewed, open-access and interdisciplinary journal. Papers submitted to the journal will undergo independent and anonymous peer review, with an Editorial Board composed of renowned international scholars. There are no fees for authors or readers, Creative Commons Attribution and authors retain Copyright of published articles. The journal is published on a bi-annual basis.
In addition to original, scholarly articles that have passed successfully through the peer review process, each issue of the Review contains a section of “Case Notes”, offering summaries and comment on significant jurisprudence from around the globe (edited by Dr. Katia Bianchini) and a section entitled “Critique & Comment” that features reflections by scholars or practitioners on emerging research, policy trends or other new developments (edited by Dr. Kristy Belton).
Submitting to the SCR
Scholars interested in submitting an article for consideration are encouraged to visit the SCR website for guidelines and to address any questions to info@screview.net.
Current Call for submissions

Submissions for Volume 6 Issue 2 are currently open. We invite submissions on statelessness and citizenship, and on any theme or context relating to citizenship and statelessness issues. We welcome submissions from any discipline and particularly encourage scholars and practitioners whose work is situated at the intersection of statelessness/citizenship studies and another field to consider responding to this call.
We are also interested in receiving submissions for the Critique and Comment, Case Notes or Book Review sections of the SCR.
