Consolidation of North American and Australasian Editorial Offices
The Editorial Board of IJEP is pleased to announce the formal merger of its North American Coordinating Office (previously operating from the University of Toronto) with the Australasian Regional Office, headquartered at the University of Melbourne.
Effective 1 June 2025, all manuscript correspondence, editorial queries, and institutional partnership requests will be consolidated through the Melbourne office. Authors currently in correspondence with the Toronto office will be contacted directly by the managing editor to confirm continuity of review.
This consolidation reflects IJEP’s growing institutional footprint in the Asia-Pacific region and our commitment to amplifying philosophical voices from the Global South within our editorial pipeline.
“We remain committed to rigorous, inclusive scholarship that spans methodological traditions and geographic boundaries.”
