Volume 5, Issue 1: On Movement(s)
CALL FOR PAPERS
Deadline for Submissions: Monday, september 14, 2020
Process: Journal of Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Scholarship invites submissions for vol. 5.1, On Movement(s). We invite submissions that consider any of the various senses of “movement”—from its physical and emotional connotations to its political and social meanings. How do we move through the world? How does this movement shape and how is it shaped by culture? What does movement make possible, and what are the complications of movement? How do movements happen? Possible topics include:
The rhetoric of movement, performance, dance
Migration
Political movements
Embodied protest
“Movement” in texts
Movement and health
Movement as metaphor
Disability justice
Inhibited movement (quarantine, closed borders, criminalized migration)
We accept two general types of submissions: critical essays and non-traditional (or multimodal) compositions, such as poems, short stories, or digital artifacts. All traditional essay submissions should be 2500-5000 words and follow the appropriate disciplinary guidelines with respect to style and citations. Please include a 250-word abstract outlining project goals and how the contribution meaningfully engages ongoing scholarly conversations. For non-traditional submissions, please expand the abstract to 500 words that details the project goals and articulates how the work would meaningfully add to ongoing critical conversations in the issue.
Please submit pieces for review by following the instructions on the Submissions page of the Process website: www.processjmus.org and include your full name and email address on the submitted document.
Questions may be directed to the editorial board at processj@uw.edu. This issue of Process will focus on movement(s). Be aware that general submissions not related to this theme, if accepted, will be saved for a suitable future issue at the discretion of the editorial board.
