About the Journal

Aims and Scope

FACES of WAR is a journal dedicated to armed conflicts from ancient times to the present day. It is an extension of the Oblicza Wojny series, published since 2020 by the Lodz University Press. The new periodical, FACES of WAR, is a peer-reviewed biannual journal published in English, fully available online and free of charge. This allows authors to regularly share the results of their research.

A distinctive feature of FACES of WAR is its interdisciplinary approach to the issues discussed in the journal. Therefore, we accept papers from the humanities as well as from disciplines such as international relations, law, security studies, architecture, and urban planning. FACES of WAR is a journal that publishes original studies and presents diverse perspectives that inspire reflection and discussion.

The biannual journal is published by the University of Lodz Press and is affiliated with the Faculty of Philosophy and History at the University of Lodz

The Editorial Board accepts submissions in English.
