The Ethiopian Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities invites potential authors to submit abstracts for the Special Issue which will be dedicated to publishing academic papers and reflections on practice from the practitioners on Asset-Based and Community-led Development in Ethiopia.

Potential contributors to the special issue shall be practitioners, community development leaders, and academics. A collaborative approach among practitioners, community development leaders and academics to publish joint articles is highly encouraged.

Q & A Information Session

To support potential contributors in preparing their abstracts and understanding the expectations of the Special Issue, a Q&A session will be held via Zoom on June 16, 2025.

This session will provide an opportunity to:

  • Clarify the submission guidelines for both academic papers and reflections on practice,
  • Discuss the thematic focus of the Special Issue, and
  • Answer any questions about the abstract review process and next steps.

We encourage all interested authors (whether practitioners, community leaders, or academics) to attend the Q&A. Please express your interest by sending an email to: Wassie Kebede wassiek7@gmail.com and cc Wellington Sousa wsousa@stfx.ca not later than June 10, 2025.

St. Francis Xavier University and Coady Institute stand on the lands of Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded home of the Mi’kmaw. We express our deep gratitude and appreciation to the generations of Mi’kmaw who, since time immemorial, have loved and stewarded these lands and the beings who call them home. Colonization is not just history; it exists in the present tense. While we strive to decolonize ourselves and our University, we know there is still much for us to learn.

We are committed to doing the hard work of self-reflection and to repairing relationships with the Mi’kmaw on whose lands we reside, including embracing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action and embodying their spirit in our plans to move forward with our University.
