Volume 5, Issue 3: On Remoteness

CALL FOR PAPERS

Deadline for Submissions: Monday, May 3, 2021

Process: Journal of Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Scholarship invites submissions for issue 5.3, On Remoteness. After a year of distance and isolation, how do we understand what it means to be remote? How has remoteness impacted our lives? Is isolation always lonely? For this issue, we welcome a wide range of approaches to the idea of remoteness, including:

• Remoteness and community

• Remote environments 

• Isolation and incarceration

• Remote pasts 

• Contagion and confinement 

• Remote learning/remote communication

• Loneliness

• Remote technologies 

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. Be aware that general submissions not related to the theme of our current issue, if accepted, will be saved for a suitable future issue at the discretion of the editorial board.
