FOCUS AND SCOPE

Focus:

Potret Pemikiran is an international peer-reviewed journal that focuses on the critical exploration and in-depth analysis of socio-cultural phenomena within pluralistic societies. The journal places particular emphasis on the dynamics of minority groups (ethnic, religious, racial, and inter-group) in majority contexts. It examines the complex interactions between minority groups and dominant social structures, processes of identity construction and negotiation, as well as manifestations of thought and culture emerging from these relationships.

Scope:

The scope of the journal encompasses, but is not limited to:

  1. Socio-cultural studies on minority-majority interactions
  2. Analysis of public policies and political representation of minority groups
  3. Research on the economy and social stratification of minority communities
  4. Linguistic and intercultural communication studies
  5. Social psychology research and identity dynamics of minority groups
  6. Legal analysis and implementation of minority rights
  7. Studies on multicultural and inclusive education

While prioritizing the aforementioned focus, Potret Pemikiran continues to accommodate articles on broader Social-Religious Thought, including philosophy, Sufism, religious politics, and the social conditions of religion. This approach allows the journal to maintain its commitment to bridging local and global discourses in the field of socio-religious studies.

The journal welcomes original research articles, theoretical papers, and critical reviews that contribute to the understanding of minority dynamics and social-religious thought in pluralistic societies. Interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged, and submissions from diverse academic backgrounds are welcomed.
