About LHSS Journal
In a bid to contribute more comprehensively to the conversation around interdisciplinarity in law and humanities and social sciences, the LHSS Collective, MNLU Mumbai plans to start the Law, Humanities and Social Sciences Journal (LHSS-J) . In the coming days, the journal aspires to furnish a platform for emerging research in the field while also harbouring expertise from fields such as history, philosophy, political science, sociology and literature in their engagement with law.
