General Call for Submissions - The Global Sixties: An Interdisciplinary Journal

GENERAL CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

Generally focusing on the concept of “the long Sixties,” The Global Sixties: An Interdisciplinary Journal is accepting submissions of scholarly articles and welcoming approaches from all disciplines. The journal addresses how this period continues to be examined and redefined across the world, encouraging global, regional, and local perspectives, as well as transnational and comparative analyses. 

The journal's topics range broadly and include:

• social movements, expressions of protest, and dissent of all kinds;
• theoretical and methodological approaches to the research on the (global) sixties; 
• foreign and domestic policy; political economy and theory; institutions, "high"/”establishment” politics, and trans-/international relations;
• decolonization and North-South conflicts; the experiences of subaltern and sub-national groups;
• women and gender history;
• intellectual history;
• history of sciences, academic disciplines, and higher education;
• print culture and electronic media;
• music, literature, film, theater, architecture, and the visual arts;
• industry, business, and advertising;
• science, technology, and innovation;
• ecology;
• migration;
• constitutional and legal history; 
• crime and punishment;
• institutional and vernacular religion;
• biographical approaches and politics of memory.

In addition to research articles and book reviews, The Global Sixties includes conversations, interviews, graphics, and analyses of the ways the meaning, impact, and legacies of that decade continue to be construed in contemporary popular culture and discourse across the world. 

All research articles published in The Global Sixties have undergone rigorous peer-review, involving initial editor screening and review by at least two anonymous referees.
