About Us
Humanity: Jos Journal of General Studies (HJJGS) is a
peer-reviewed, open-access multidisciplinary journal published by the Directorate of General
Studies, University of Jos, Nigeria. It appears twice a year.
Our purpose
General Studies is where every university student meets the questions that cut across
disciplines: language and communication, the history and cultures of Nigeria, philosophy and
logic, citizenship and governance, peace and conflict, entrepreneurship and the uses of science
in society. HJJGS carries that same breadth into research. It gives scholars a single forum for
work in the humanities, the social sciences and education, and for studies from other fields
that speak to a general academic readership.
Most of what the journal publishes is about Nigeria and Africa: their languages and
literatures, faiths, histories and performing arts, their schools and classrooms, their media,
economies and institutions, and the communities of the Jos Plateau and the Middle Belt. It
especially welcomes work that links scholarship to national development, social cohesion and
public life.
Contributions are welcome from lecturers, researchers, postgraduate students and
practitioners at any institution, in Nigeria or abroad.
