Call for Papers for Trans-Scripts

Dear colleagues,

Attached please find a Call for Papers for Trans-Scripts, the interdisciplinary journal in the Humanities and Social Sciences at UC Irvine. Please distribute this CFP to your graduate students at your earliest convenience. The deadline for submissions is January 1, 2012.

The theme of the second volume of Trans-Scripts is "Queer Interventions and Intersections." We welcome a wide range of submissions from a variety of disciplines. Founded in 2010, Trans-Scripts is a student-run and edited interdisciplinary journal, and the editorial collective of graduate students come from diverse academic fields, including English, History, Culture & Theory, Comparative Literature, Women’s Studies, and African-American Studies. Faculty advisors represent an even more varied range of disciplines. All submissions will be reviewed by both students and faculty to ensure the highest quality of work. Though primarily a forum for student work, faculty are welcome to contribute as well. We also publish editorials by renowned experts on each theme covered.

For more information, the Trans-Scripts journal can be accessed at the following website: http://www.humanities.uci.edu/collective
/hctr/trans-scripts/index.html. Please direct all general inquiries about the journal or any comments on published pieces to our 2012 volume’s Editor-in-Chief, Jen Kosakowski, at jkosakow@uci.edu.

Thank you,

The Trans-Scripts Editorial Collective
