Subject: Call for Papers: Geographers writing on London
Call for Papers: London Journal.
The London Journal is a long-established interdisciplinary peer-reviewed
journal concerning 'Metropolitan Society, Past and Present'. In recent
years a majority of its papers have come from historians of London, but
the
editorial committee has a strong representation from Geography, and we
are
keen to encourage contributions from across the discipline. The journal
has
a focus on the history of London, but encourages papers that consider
London's experience alongside other cities. It also publishes papers
that
consider contemporary London's cultural, economic, political and social
geographies.
A particular feature of the journal is its encouragement of work that
examines the history of key features of the metropolis today - recent
special editions have examined urban fashion cultures and high buildings
in
London. Recent papers have also covered topics such as housing and
transport policy, and sexuality and space in east London. We are keen to
encourage contemporary economic, political, social, environmental and
cultural geographers who have parts of their research that explore
recent
history. Suggestions for special editions that combine past and present
are
also very welcome.
The unique history of the London Journal which was built up with the
active
participation of historical groups in London, means that as well as its
academic profile it also has a significant wider readership beyond the
academy, and active links with local historical societies, local history
units, and public libraries. This is a journal with a strong commitment
to
public outreach.
Journal details are at: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/maney/ldn
Formal submissions of papers should be made to the editor, Nicola Avery,
but
because of its historical range the journal has an active Editorial
Committee who take responsibility for commissioning referees and
liaising
with authors over the development of papers.
Please feel free to contact any of us with ideas and queries.
