"With Oxford Intersections, we want to move past our existing disciplinary silos and build something that sits across the top of the full range of subjects, as a deeply interconnected web of content."

SOPHIE GOLDSWORTHY

DIRECTOR OF CONTENT STRATEGY & ACQUISITION FOR RESEARCH PUBLISHING

Our first available topics, each with over 40 articles and researched through the lens of disciplines like political science, philosophy, law, history, and literature, include:

Environmental Change and Human Experience examines the evolving, reciprocal relationship between humans and the environment across history. It fosters interdisciplinary understanding and action, integrating humanities and social sciences to address climate urgency, shifting knowledge, and enduring ecological legacies that shape and are shaped by human life.

Gender shapes human identity and life, spanning disciplines and provoking new ideas. Gender Justice highlights global issues of gender expansion and liberation, emphasizing intersectional power dynamics and embracing the complexity of understanding a diverse, evolving subject while “staying with the trouble.”

Borders aren’t fixed lines. They’re living forces that shape cultures, politics, and connections far beyond geography. This Intersection explores how borders influence systems, relationships, and practices worldwide, and what it means to live in a world defined by them.

This topic explores the layered and multidimensional nature of racism through ten linked sections, each of which focuses on racism in a particular sphere (such as politics and government, labour and economy, education, the arts, and health and welfare), with each distinct but overlapping in scope with others.

This Intersection explores the positive and negative impacts of social media, and highlights their cultural differences across the globe. It engages with questions around privacy, regulation, and misinformation, as well as D&I issues, especially those concerning access and literacy, mode of communication, and representation. 

This topic brings together scholarly research which explores how AI has transformed (and continues to transform) the world we live in, both positively and negatively, and the challenges and debates it brings along with it.

Further topics are in development, due to launch across 2026, with over 30 more to follow in the coming years.
