Call for papers: Migrating Minds: Journal of Cultural Cosmopolitanism. Deadline: 15 December 2023 for first issue; ongoing after that.
Migrating Minds: Journal of Cultural Cosmopolitanism is a new peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal devoted to interdisciplinary research on cultural cosmopolitanism from a comparative perspective. It provides a unique, international forum for innovative critical approaches to cosmopolitanism emerging from literatures, cultures, media, and the arts in dialogue with other areas of the humanities and social sciences, across temporal, spatial, and linguistic boundaries. By placing creative expressions at the center of a wide range of contemporary and historical intercultural relationships, the journal explores forms of belonging and spaces of difference and dissidence that challenge both universalist and exclusionary paradigms.
The Inaugural Issue is scheduled to appear in Fall 2023. Submissions invited for the first regular issue, Vol. 1 (1), Spring 2024.
