Junctures is a multidisciplinary academic journal founded by Otago Polytechnic Te Kura Matatini ki Otago in 2003 as a forum for trans-disciplinary discussion, analysis, and critique. The guiding principle for Junctures is that interaction between specialists on a common theme provides an enriching intellectual experience.

Junctures is a fully blind peer-reviewed international journal, and is catalogued on Ulrich's Periodicals directory, and in the EBSCO databases: Academic OneFile, Literature Resource Center and Expanded Academic.

Junctures aims to engage discussion across boundaries, whether these be disciplinary, geographic, cultural, social or economic. It seeks to articulate issues of location, wonder, the marvellous, anxiety, ecology, materials, pixels, and the power of curiosity. With New Zealand and the Asia-Pacific region as a backdrop, but not its only stage, Junctures seeks to address the matters which concern us all as we negotiate the contemporary environment.

Each issue of Junctures is organised around a single thematic focus. Full instructions on manuscript preparation are available in our submissions section.

Individuals or groups who wish to propose a theme for consideration should address their suggestions to the editor with a description of the range of contributions they envision would be generated by such a theme.
