Journal of the West

18/09/2019

Hi all! Journal of the West is looking for articles to fill out upcoming theme issues on a number of important topics:

-Natives and Warfare in the West
-Religion in the West
-Water and the West
-Aerospace and the West
-Asian Peoples in the West
-Coffee in the West
-Historiography of the West
-Indigenous Education in the West
-Music in the West
-The Pacific and the West
-Political Movements in the West
-Sustainability and the West

If you have an article (or an idea that could be turned into an article fairly quickly) in any of these subject areas, please contact us at [email protected]!

Also, aside from the theme section articles the Journal publishes a number of non-thematic articles in each issue's "About the West" section. The "Western Forum" section opens each issue with a shorter, more opinion-based, thought-provoking article. Please contact us if you have an idea or an article that may be provocative while remaining academically rigorous for this section. Please contact us at [email protected] if have an article that you would like to submit for consideration.

Finally, if you have an idea for a future theme issue of the Journal, the knowledge and desire to edit the issue, and know of contributors who would like to write articles for such an issue, contact us at [email protected] as well!

We'll look forward to hearing about your ideas!

Steve
