Call for Papers: Special Issue on ‘Dehumanization and Violence’ in JPR, edited by Jonathan Leader-Maynard (@jleadermaynard.bsky.social), Aliza Luft, and Torsten Michel. Deadline 16 October 2025. Please send your abstract (or any related questions/queries) to torsten.michel@bristol.ac.uk.
![Call for Papers: Special Issue on ‘Dehumanization and Violence’
in the Journal of Perpetrator Research
[...]
This special issue invites papers that examine dehumanization in and across diverse local and global contexts of harm. We seek contributions that employ a range of methods, offer rigorous analysis, and push theoretical and methodological boundaries. In particular, we aim to foster sustained dialogue across disciplines that too often remain siloed, bringing together insights from sociology, history, anthropology, psychology, political science, and beyond. By bridging these fields, we hope to generate more integrated and expansive understandings of how dehumanization takes shape, is contested, and unfolds across time, space, and structure. We especially welcome contributions that explore:
Dehumanization during armed conflict past and present (e.g. genocide, conventional and civil wars, colonial violence, terrorism, and various forms of extra-lethal violence during conflict (e.g., sexual violence, torture)
Dehumanization outside of wartime contexts, e.g., in policing and police violence, concerning houselessness, gender-based violence, gang violence, migration/deportation regimes, and more.
Dehumanization of participants in violence, self-dehumanization, how it feels to be a victim of dehumanization, mutual dehumanization, and so on.
We invite abstracts of approximately 350 words outlining key arguments and focus of the proposed article by 16/10/2025.
Selected authors will be invited to submit a full-length article (8000 words max; due date around April 2026).
Please send your abstract (or any related questions/queries) to torsten.michel@bristol.ac.uk.

Half a million people in Gaza are starving. These Holocaust and genocide scholars are calling for immediate food aid and an end to the war. Israel has blocked nearly all food and medical aid to Gaza, and parents can’t feed their children. www.youtube.com/shorts/30JzD...

Enough. We demand rapid, safe, and unimpeded access to starving civilians in Gaza.
We have a plan. We have thousands of trucks of food at the border. Let us in. Let us work.
