About the Journal

Aims and Scope

lambda nordica is a peer-reviewed open-access academic journal of LGBTQ studies. The oldest of its kind in the Nordic region, the journal is dedicated to interdisciplinary research in lesbian/gay/bi/trans* and queer studies. lambda nordica is a regionally based journal that takes inspiration from international sibling journals such as GLQSexualitiesJournal of Homosexuality and Journal of Lesbian Studies, and aims to foster international collaboration and dialogue, and to offer junior as well as senior researchers an opportunity to publish in both English and Scandinavian languages. The journal also reviews Nordic and international literature in the field of LGBTQ studies.  

lambda nordica was founded in 1989 as a Swedish/Nordic cultural journal dedicated to homosexuality research and aimed at a broader audience, in close collaboration with the LBT movements at the time. For the past 10 years, however, lambda nordica has been an academic journal aimed at researchers, teachers and students, and we have been online and open access since 2012. The journal primarily publishes peer-reviewed research articles but occasionally also essays. Under the headline “We’re here” we publish essays that address different perspectives on current issues in research and LGBTQ politics. Contributors to “We’re here” include Susan Stryker, Sarah Franklin, Sara Ahmed, Juana María Rodríguez and Paola Bacchetta. The journal both follows and contributes to international academic discussions by publishing special issues around central themes.
