Strong submissions situate their considerations of cultural practices, critical theories, and/or pedagogies within established and emerging conversations on racism, capitalism, sexuality, gender, ability, and colonialism. In addition to finished academic papers, the editors also welcome contributions that engage or have the potential to engage the visual and interactive aspects of the open-access, web-based publication platform.

• Articles should be 4000 to 9500 words in length, submitted as a Microsoft Word compatible document.
• In order to facilitate peer review, identifiable information such as authors’ names should not appear on manuscripts. Include name, institutional affiliation, contact information, title, and brief abstract in a separate document submitted with your manuscript.
