Beyond the theme of the conference, the JJSS seeks to publish interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary scholarly papers on all topics that interpret, expand, apply, critique, and/or theorize Jungian and post-Jungian concepts in order to illuminate psychology and other areas of study.  

Scholarly papers are peer reviewed and may be written on topics that include but need not be limited to the sciences, religion, philosophy, history, culture, myth and fairy tale, literature, art, sculpture, music, film, architecture, the environment, gender, sexuality, race, politics, and theory.
