OPEN FORUM FOR THE INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF IBERIAN STUDIES
The International Journal of Iberian Studies (IJIS) is the academic journal for scholars from around the world whose research focuses on contemporary Iberia (20th and 21st-century). IJIS publishes work from a range of disciplinary perspectives, and it particularly welcomes articles that apply a comparative or intertwined methodology to the study of Spain and Portugal and consider other identities, cultures and nationalities (Andalusia, Asturias, Basque Country, Catalonia, Galicia, etc.) and communities (Sephardic, Romani, immigrants, etc.).
IJIS is interested in – but not limited to – research in areas such as:
* History and memory
* Economy
* Social sciences (including diasporas and migrations)
* Political science (including foreign relations, particularly
within the European Union)
* Urban studies
* Education history and policy
* Literary and cultural studies (including arts and film studies)
* Translation studies
* Media studies
* Gender studies
* Tourism and travel studies
* Sociolinguistics and language learning
We are seeking new submissions for inclusion in the Open Forum section of IJIS. The Open Forum section offers a platform for short academic articles (c. 5000 words) with a critical or methodological perspective related to any field pertaining to Iberian studies. We are especially interested in contributions from early career researchers and early career scholars. Shorter commentaries on contemporary events, trends, and debates, as well as interviews, opinion pieces, and on-going research projects, will also be considered for publication in the Open Forum.
Prospective contributors should submit material to Dr Deirdre Kelly (kellyd13@tcd.ie) and Dr Jared D. Larson (jared.larson@humboldt.edu).
Articles submitted to the Open Forum are selected through a double-blind peer-review process that seeks to be inclusive, within scholarly parameters.
