Journal of Multicultural Discourses (ISSN 1744-7143 print; ISSN 1747-6615 online)
Editor-in-Chief: Shi-xu, Zhejiang University, China
Review Editors: Yoshitaka Miike, University of Hawai’i at Hilo, USA / Sune Vork Steffensen, University of Southern Denmark, Denmark
The Journal of Multicultural Discourses (Routledge, Taylor & Francis), edited by Professor Shi-xu, is now calling for reviews of publications and events which are relevant to the purposes of the journal (http://tandf.co.uk/journals/1744-7143). In summary, we are seeking reviews that examine (1) the recovery and reconstruction of intellectual traditions on language and communication from cultures outside the West (and/or non-Western cultures inside the West), including those discussing the methods and epistemologies of such research and (2) studies in language and communication practices outside mainstream cultures. For this new journal, the editorial team is particularly interested in accepting innovative and even provocative reviews which go well beyond content summaries and promotional endorsements. A range of review formats will be considered including but not limited to:
* A critical examination of more than one recent publications
* A fresh consideration of historical texts, particularly non-Western ones that have not previously been brought to an international audience
* A contrast and comparison of a seminal work with a recent publication in a related field
* A critical analysis of several journal publications in an emerging field
The Journal of Multicultural Discourses has two review editors: Professor Yoshitaka Miike (ymiike@hawaii.edu) and Professor Sune Vork Steffensen (vork@language.sdu.dk). While you can contact either of the editors to propose a review, there is a slight difference in orientation amongst them: Yoshitaka will be responsible for reviews on the cultural diversity of language and communication as well as the scholarships on them; Sune will take responsibility mainly for reviews engaging with various forms of discourse and communication research.
Reviews should be between 2,000-3,000 words long (all inclusive). Your review is likely to be published within six to twelve months following the acceptance of the manuscript. We strive to include 3-4 reviews per issue. Please see the journal website (http://tandf.co.uk/journals/1744-7143) for publication guidelines.
