About the Journal

The Journal of Ethnophysics is a scholarly publication featuring original research articles, theoretical analyses, and field studies that explore the intersection between physics and indigenous knowledge across various cultures. This journal aims to enrich our understanding of how physical concepts are reflected, interpreted, and practiced within diverse ethnic traditions. Ethnophysics serves as an interdisciplinary field that brings together physics, anthropology, education, history of science, and cultural studies into a unified academic platform

This is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal that provides a platform for researchers, educators, and practitioners to share insights and best practices in connecting physics with the sociocultural contexts of communities.
