Call for Submissions: "Aztlán: A Journal of Chicano Studies"

Aztlán, the premier journal of Chicana/o studies, is inviting new submissions!

 

Aztlán publishes scholarship relevant to Chicana/o studies from all disciplines and interdisciplinary research as well. We welcome submissions in English and Spanish. We are seeking submissions for all three areas of the journal:

 

Our essays are research-based and come from a wide variety of disciplines—literature, sociology, history, political science, the arts, linguistics, gender studies, ethnic studies, and many other fields—but they always engage the Chicana/o experience. All essays are peer reviewed and are frequently revised to meet the journal’s standards for quality research. Essays typically run about 10,000–12,000 words in length.

 

The dossier section provides a forum for multiple and shorter engagements with a specific theme that examines an aspect of Chicana/o studies; this might be an object of study, theoretical or disciplinary questions, a methodology, or one scholar’s work. The dossier section, while still of a scholarly nature, is designed to be exploratory, provocative, or experimental in approach. Aztlán will consider working with a guest curator—a scholar who wishes to create a dossier theme and can help manage dossier development. Contact Heather Birdsall, assistant editor, at hbirdsall@chicano.ucla.edu to explore this opportunity.

 

If you are an advanced PhD student or junior or senior faculty and you are interested in writing a book review for us, we will gladly consider suggested titles, or we can recommend a book that matches your field of interest. To inquire about reviews, contact our book review coordinator at revieweditor@chicano.ucla.edu.

 

To submit: All submissions should be sent to our submission inbox at submissions@chicano.ucla.edu. Please direct queries to Heather Birdsall, assistant editor, at hbirdsall@chicano.ucla.edu.
