Declining or Waning
- Traditional Cross-Cultural Comparisons:
There appears to be a decrease in studies that focus solely on traditional cross-cultural comparisons, as the journal leans more towards intersectional and nuanced discussions of identity and power dynamics. - Generalized Cultural Studies:
