we are happy to announce that (since yesterday, in fact) JOSS 7(2): Spatial Cultures is live!

The second issue of JOSS Volume 7 continues the focused investigation into socio-cultural relations to space in focus already in the previous issue, extending the theme to span the full volume. And, I am glad to say, it continues to span scales between cities and buildings, between everyday and high culture, between specifically syntax research and a wider set of methods and theories, and—not least—new and returning authors to the journal. This issue, together with its predecessor, addresses questions that in different ways understand and define the concept of ‘spatial cultures’.
