About the Journal

Kaleidoscope: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences is a double blind peer-reviewed, open-access academic journal published by Purbasthali College, West Bengal, India. The journal is committed to promoting critical and creative scholarship that bridges disciplinary boundaries across the fields of the humanities and social sciences. Reflecting its name, Kaleidoscope offers a vibrant platform for diverse voices, perspectives, and methodologies. It invites submissions that engage with literature, cultural studies, history, sociology, philosophy, language studies, visual and performing arts, gender studies, environmental humanities, and other allied fields.

The journal especially encourages original contributions that explore intersections—between disciplines, cultures, theories, and identities. We welcome not only research articles but also critical essays, reviews, book reviews, and interviews.
