Liverpool University Press is delighted to announce a call for contributions for the second issue of The Journal of Beatles Studies<https://www.liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/journal/jbs>. The aims of the journal are to provide a voice to new and emerging research locating the Beatles in new contexts, groups and communities from within and beyond academic institutions; to inaugurate, innovate, interrogate and challenge narrative, cultural historical and musicological tropes about the Beatles as both subject and object of study; to publish original and critical research from Beatles scholars around the globe and across disciplines.
The Journal of Beatles Studies establishes a scholarly focal point for critique, dialogue and exchange on the nature, scope and value of the Beatles as an object of academic enquiry and seeks to examine and assess the continued economic value and cultural values generated by and around the Beatles, for policy makers, creative industries and consumers. The journal also seeks to approach the Beatles as a prism for accessing insight into wider historical, social and cultural issues.
"An international, inclusive, interdisciplinary focal point for ideas, exchange and quality research".
Holly Tessler and Paul Long, Co-Editors of The Journal of Beatles Studies
