Social Text is currently accepting proposals for Periscope, the journal’s curated web forum of illuminating critical opinion on contemporary political and theoretical affairs. Previous Periscopes have focused on topics as diverse as Queer Suicide, the South African World Cup, and the Copenhagen Climate Summit. Individual essays should be short (approximately 800 – 1,200 words), clear, and punchy; dossiers generally feature from 6 – 12 pieces. A mix of academic, activist and journalist voices is welcome. The aim should be to set up a productive dialogue among contributors around a particular issue or event.
Check out previous Social Text Periscopes here. Submit your queries and/or proposals to: editor@socialtextjournal.org
