This series contextualizes protest in our current moment. We are interested in a range of discussions that help situate protest as cultural, social, and transnational/global acts. Topics could include community organizing, artivism, strategies for dissent, social movements, and theories on cultural change.
This series highlights issues relevant to classrooms engaging with American Studies and adjacent fields. Submissions should focus on aspects of teaching, such as pedagogical methods, mentoring, digital media and technologies, strategies for teaching interdisciplinary fields, academic freedom, and DEI and social justice pedagogies.
The series presents the work of undergraduate students. This series provides up and coming scholars an opportunity to publish their ideas, research, and theories for consideration and review by the scholarly community. It also allows early writers a chance to experience the publication process, with the chance to present their work to a broad audience outside the classroom.
This series invites artists and scholars to discuss the visual, performing arts, music, and film as it relates to theories and issues pertinent to American Studies. We are excited about submissions that incorporate digital media, sound, mixed genre as well as submissions that offer discussions on craft, artist-scholar practices, and aesthetics as a tool for social justice.
This series focuses on any aspects of writing in relation to American Studies. With this series, American Studies is looking to provide a platform for a range of discussions across writing in the areas of Ethnic Studies, arts and culture, oral histories, activism, collective work, navigating technologies, and more with attention to situating writing and scholarship as a collaborative/collective project. Topics could include mentoring graduate students with writing, challenges with interdisciplinary work, field work, working with theory, and more.
