The STRATI Journal of Indigenous Studies and Development is a peer-reviewed, international, and open-access journal that offers a dedicated platform for interdisciplinary scholarship, indigenous knowledge systems, and policy discourse centered on the rights, cultures, histories, and development trajectories of Indigenous Peoples across the globe. The journal prioritizes research that amplifies Indigenous voices, challenges colonial legacies, and fosters equity, justice, and sustainability in development planning and practice.
It welcomes original academic research, community-engaged scholarship, participatory studies, and practitioner perspectives that address the socioeconomic, political, cultural, spiritual, and ecological dimensions of Indigenous life and development. Contributions that are co-authored with Indigenous scholars, elders, or communities, or that reflect community-based participatory methodologies are particularly encouraged.
Manuscripts should generally be between 6,000 and 8,000 words with an abstract of no more than 200 words. All submissions undergo double-blind peer review and must include a plagiarism report. The journal seeks to bridge academic inquiry with actionable development policy, while ensuring Indigenous ethical protocols and intellectual property rights are respected.
