Synopsis: Since its founding by Roman Kozłowski in 1956, various currents of modern paleontology have been represented in the contents of the journal, especially those rooted in biologically oriented paleontology, an area he helped establish. In-depth studies of all kinds of fossils, of the mode of life of ancient organisms and structure of their skeletons are welcome, as those offering stratigraphically ordered evidence of evolution. Work on vertebrates and applications of fossil evidence to developmental studies, both ontogeny and astogeny of clonal organisms, have a long tradition in our journal. Evolution of the biosphere and its ecosystems, as inferred from geochemical evidence, has also been the focus of studies published in the journal.

Publishes interviews focused on the relationship of postcolonial studies to the study of writing, theory, and criticism. As Jouvert responds to the interests of a large and diverse readership, the journal encourages interviews on a full range of topics. Whatever the topic for conversation, the ideal Jouvert interview exemplifies scholarship of the highest quality. Ordinarily, the interview subject is a prominent writer, artist, or scholar whose work, though not necessarily postcolonial in identification, is of consequence to postcolonial studies. The interviews focus on a problem(s) of considerable urgency to postcolonial writing and/or criticism, evince a systematic examination of the problem(s), and maintain the interest of Jouvert's audience through a forceful, coherent presentation.
