Praxeology – A critical reflexive view on social practices is an open access, online peer reviewed journal in the intersection between the health sciences, pedagogy, the social sciences and the humanities. The journal publishes peer reviewed articles and essays, in addition to book essays, book reviews, and op-ed pieces.
The title Praxeology and the subtitle a critical reflexive view refer to French historical epistemology, which is the journal's epistemological foundation. Yet, the journal also publishes research articles that do not directly belong to this tradition, but that are theoretically and methodologically related to it.
While the journal primarily is directed at critical and reflexive analyses of practices in health and education, the journal also accepts contributions from other research environments and traditions.
Praxeology is an international journal, and accepts manuscripts written in the Scandinavian languages, English or French.
This open-access, peer reviewed electronic journal aims at publishing original research within the field of theatre studies.
