Focus and Scope

Talanoa: Journal of Education, Economics, and Humanities is a multidisciplinary platform dedicated to the dissemination of high-quality research, theoretical debates, and critical reviews.

To provide broad coverage of contemporary and shifting paradigms, the journal welcomes submissions across three main domains, as well as interdisciplinary studies that cross these boundaries:
