Founding Perspective
Journal of Cultural Insights approaches culture as an ongoing human endeavor to reflect on harmful tendencies, cultivate constructive possibilities, pursue beauty, sustain and critically examine communal life, and respond creatively to changing conditions. The journal welcomes rigorous research and critical perspectives that illuminate cultural meanings, values, expressions, and practices. It values original insight supported by evidence and argument, including work that challenges the assumptions of this founding perspective.

The journal considers research on cultural meaning, value, expression, practice, and change in community life. A manuscript needs evidence, argument, and a cultural contribution. Agreement with the founding perspective is not a condition of review.
Initial article types are Research Article, Conceptual Article, and Critical Perspective. Word limits and review procedures remain an editorial draft until they are confirmed.
