Call for Papers
The Journal of History and Cultures (JHAC) is issuing a Call for Papers for our next issue and welcomes articles on subjects in the fields of history and cultures within a broad geographic and chronological range. We are also accepting book reviews.
We are based at the Centre for Modern and Contemporary History at the University of Birmingham and are interested in papers relating to local history seen from a trans-national or a global perspective or local history that addresses global historiography.
We are particularly keen for submissions from postgraduate researchers and independent scholars.
JHAC is a peer-reviewed journal and an excellent new publishing opportunity both for postgraduates and established academics. Articles should be 5,000-7,000 words in length. We encourage articles that consider and engage with historical, cultural, political, social, and theoretical research in new and original ways. Reviews should be 750-1,000 words in length. Review essays should be in-depth engagements with recent books which develop an argument to complement the reading of the text. A list of books available for review will be appearing on our website; alternatively, you can contact our reviews editor directly to request a specific book to review at [log in to unmask]
The deadline for submissions is 1st October 2012.
Full submission and formatting guidelines can be found at: http://historyandcultures.com/submissions/
Finally, we invite you to join the JHAC community on both Facebook and Twitter @UOBJHAC for regular updates.
We are offering a £50 prize for the best article.
