Call for Papers
"Thinking and Writing Beyond Two Cultures:
STEM, WAC/WID, and the Changing Academy"
Volume 3, appearing Fall 2015
Deadline: Saturday, March 28th, 2015
In 2008, The Times Literary Supplement included the publication of C. P. Snow’s 1959 Rede Lecture, The Two Cultures and the Scientific Revolution, on its list of the 100 books that have most influenced Western public discourse since the Second World War. Although Snow’s lecture prompted a dustup between scientists and literary elites over who could lay claim to the superior form of knowledge, over time the sides and tenor of the “Two Cultures Debate” have changed. As the debate has expanded throughout the natural sciences, humanities, and social sciences to include various disciplinary groups and the beliefs, attitudes, and perspectives with which they are bound together as “cultures,” it has evolved into a conversation about how knowledge is recognized, valued, and taught across the cultures of the university. DH invites submissions that explore pedagogical linkages between critical thinking and writing within the unfolding legacy of the Two Cultures Debate.
Double Helix is an international, peer-reviewed journal of pedagogy. It welcomes
• Research Articles - 5,000 to 10,000 words.
• Reports from the Field - 2,500 to 5,000 words. Reports from the Field focus more exclusively on specific pedagogical practices and are less invested in theory than Research Articles. They focus on assignment design, instructor response, readings of student work, and evaluation criteria. Their modest length provides readers with an opportunity to learn quickly about a new practice and its implementation.
• The Provocateur - Of potentially any length and/or form, The Provocateur focuses on disrupting scholarly, institutional, and pedagogical conventions.
• Book Reviews - 750 to 1,000 words. DH accepts reviews submitted within two years of the book’s publication date.
• Letters - Up to 500 words, in response to any type of work appearing in the most recent volume of DH.
All submissions should be made online through the journal website: http://qudoublehelixjournal.org
Guidelines are available online.
