CALL FOR PAPERS | Exchanges: the Warwick Research Journal
Exchanges: the Warwick Research Journal is the peer-reviewed, open access, interdisciplinary research journal of the Institute of Advanced Study (IAS), University of Warwick. We are inviting high-quality
interdisciplinary submissions from researchers at all stages of their careers in all academic fields.
For the October 2018 edition, we particularly welcome submissions which will contribute to a themed section on ‘Autonomy’. Autonomy is the right or condition of self-government (‘autonomos’ means ‘having
its own laws’). It therefore suggests freedom and independence, for example, of an atom, an organism, an object, the self (the mind and the body), a community (especially of minorities), an organisation, a government, and a country/nation/region. How can autonomy
be achieved? By votes, negotiations, wars, and technology? How can autonomy be understood in this increasingly interconnected, interactive, interdependent, globalised world? How is the theme of autonomy represented in media and cultural products? Does autonomy
promote or hinder social equality? In the specific context of research, what does the autonomy of each discipline mean, especially in inter/multi-disciplinary and collaborative research?
How does current research environment impact the autonomy of research and researchers?
Submissions which do not engage with the theme of ‘Autonomy’ are also welcome.
We publish a variety of content:
Conversation (3-5,000 words)
Articles (5-6,000 words)
Review Articles (3-5,000 words)
Critical Reflection (1-3,000 words)
Please submit online at
