Le Climatoscope aims to contribute to the fight against climate change, an issue of unprecedented importance both in Quebec and internationally, through the dissemination of the most advanced scientific knowledge and awareness-raising/action-taking activities aimed at a wide audience. Wishing to bridge the gap between high-level scientific research and its transfer in the French language to the general public, a research team at the Université de Sherbrooke thus launched in 2019 a French-language, interdisciplinary popular science journal on climate change aimed at an interested, but non-expert, public.
Gathering articles produced by researchers from all disciplines (law, politics, health, science, engineering…), Le Climatoscope provides a portrait of scientific advances on climate change and presents the latest initiatives and innovations in the field.

The journal aims to showcase international diversity: it gives equal space to contributions from a variety of geographical, cultural, disciplinary, paradigmatic and methodological backgrounds. The journal adopts the French language as a link between contributions: it ensures that articles are written in a language accessible to other specialists.

Estuaire is North America’s oldest French-language poetry journal, and one of Quebec’s first creative journals. Founded in 1976, its mission is to foster creation, innovation, reflection and research in Quebec poetry. Estuaire fosters the emergence of new voices and provides a forum for the expression of established poets. Artistic quality and textual originality are the primary interests of the editorial board. This is followed by a strong desire to publish and showcase little-heard and little-read voices, in order to contribute to a better diversification and continual renewal of Quebec’s poetic landscape.
The journal’s “Traductions” section introduces French-speaking readers to poetic voices from around the world. The “Critiques” section presents in-depth reviews of poetry published in Quebec. For even more poetic exploration, the journal opens its pages to a poet-in-residence, whose work is featured in the “Planches” section.

The journal aims to highlight these considerations within the following themes: Challenges and the Future of Social Work, Progressive Practice, Polity and Social Policy, Social Work Theory, and Social Work Education.

Other title: Matrix : une revue d’études matriculturelles
Matrix: A Journal for Matricultural Studies is founded in 2020 to provide an interdisciplinary forum for those who are working from the theoretical stance of matriculture as a Geertzian cultural system. Matriculture refers to the cultural system that brings together all cultural aspects informing the lives of mothers, usually women, of a given society, and by extension, the lives of women. Talking about matricultural systems allows us to consider as primary the cultural context of a given society as perceived, constructed, and lived by its women. Similar to other cultural systems such as art, religion, or mathematics, employing the heuristic of matriculture allows for, among other things: cross-cultural comparisons; fresh insights into the social roles of women, men, otherwise identified, children, and the entire community of humans, animals, and the environment; and/or renewed understandings of historically mis-labelled cultures.

Possibles is a journal of ideas that combines intellectual rigor and accessible analysis. It was born in 1974 from the meeting of poets (Roland Giguère, Gérald Godin, Gilles Hénault, Gaston Miron) and sociologists (Gabriel Gagnon and Marcel Rioux) concerned with dreaming and building a Quebec society that is united, creative and emancipated from its many sources of alienation.
In 1976, the first issue of Possibles saw the light of day. As Marcel Rioux wrote at the time, “the search for the possible involves the study of innovative practices and those that contribute to destructuring capitalist society, particularly in dominated Quebec”. For almost fifty years, Possibles has held fast to this self-management ideal. Over the past quarter-century, the journal has sought to be multidisciplinary: opinion and academic texts, essays, poems, short stories, fiction, photography, visual and digital art have all filled the pages of its issues.
Possibles is a self-managed, self-financed and collaborative journal.

The Revue du CREMIS aims to disseminate research beyond university walls. It publishes original texts on texts on social inequality, discrimination and alternative citizenship practices. Texts report on research results, current research projects and interventional or alternative practices deemed relevant to CREMIS themes.

In this sense, the journal promotes the publication of texts that are accessible to a readership from a variety of backgrounds, including research and teaching, intervention in health and social services, and commitment to the fight against social inequality and discrimination. The journal offers a unique space for publishing texts that break with the beaten track, and emancipate themselves from the classic formats of academic articles, in terms of both form and content.

It opens its pages to professors, law students and practitioners alike. Its articles and columns cover the main areas of law: public, criminal and private law.

The journal is also interested in any recent developments in foreign law that concern a social problem also arising in Quebec and Canada. In the field of international law, RJTUM is particularly interested in texts that present original or lesser-known perspectives in the French-speaking world, or that make the link with Canadian domestic law.
