Current Issue
We are proud to present the second issue of Volume 2 of the Canadian Journal for the Academic Mind (CJAM). This edition continues our mission to provide an accessible, rigorous, and student-led platform for critical scholarship, intersectional thought, and academic inquiry. The works featured in this issue discuss pressing social, political, and ethical challenges, demonstrating once again that students are not only observers of the world, but are active participants in critically analyzing and reshaping it.
This issue reflects CJAM’s commitment to student-led research that is rooted in academic tradition, while also being unafraid to challenge dominant paradigms of our world. From evolutionary psychology to international criminal law, from Indigenous justice to queer resistance, the range of contributions really prove how interconnected our struggles for justice truly are. At a time when the silencing of dissent and the devaluation of academic freedom is on the rise globally, CJAM strongly reaffirms its support for intellectual freedom and community-led knowledge production.

An Update from the Canadian Journal for the Academic Mind
The Canadian Journal for the Academic Mind has made the difficult decision to cease publishing new issues and accepting submissions for the time being. After careful consideration, the editorial board has determined that we are no longer able to sustainably maintain the editorial, peer-review, and publication processes required to operate the journal. Our previously published work will remain available through our website, and we are deeply grateful to everyone who has contributed to and supported CJAM over the years.

CJAM Policy on Generative Artificial Intelligence
Following approval by the Editorial Board, the Canadian Journal for the Academic Mind is implementing a new editorial policy on the use of generative artificial intelligence. Effective immediately, CJAM does not accept manuscripts that rely on generative AI tools for the creation of scholarly content in any capacity. All arguments, analysis, interpretation, and written expression must be produced through human intellectual labour, with authors retaining full responsibility for originality, accuracy, and integrity.
Likewise, editors and reviewers of the Journal will not use generative artificial intelligence or AI-assisted tools at any stage of the editorial or peer-review process. Manuscripts, peer-reviewer reports, and decision-making are treated as confidential and are evaluated exclusively through human scholarly judgment.

The Journal
The Canadian Journal for the Academic Mind is a student-run/student-focused, non-profit, interdisciplinary, open-access research publication dedicated to bringing together the best and brightest minds from across the world to share their ideas and research. We believe, support, and encourage the use of open-access publishing and the accessibility of academic material to the public. CJAM does not charge a fee for any of its services, including article processing, submission, and viewing. We are committed to providing a platform for students to showcase their research findings and to discuss and debate the changing landscape of our world.
Currently, we are accepting submissions solely from students in their undergraduate or graduate studies. We hope that in the future, we will have the capacity to also support the submissions of academics and professors. Professors are welcome to and encouraged to co-author students' papers.
