Call for Papers
http://www.kurdishstudies.net/
We are pleased to announce the launch of Kurdish Studies (KS), a new interdisciplinary and peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing high quality research and scholarship in the field of Kurdish Studies.
The Kurdish Studies journal aims to contribute to and revitalize research, scholarship, and debates in this field in a multidisciplinary fashion. The journal embraces a wide range of topics including but not limited to economics, history, society, gender, minorities, politics, health, law, environment, language, media, culture, arts, and education.
The Kurdish Studies journal is an initiative of Kurdish Studies Network members, and the inaugural issue is to be released in October 2013.
Kurdish Studies invites academics, policy makers, and students to submit high quality papers that will make a significant contribution to the field. Offering a universally accessible venue where sound scholarship and research as well as reviews and debates are disseminated, the journal establishes a forum for serious discussion and exchange within the Kurdish Studies community. The journal aims to maintain a fair balance between theoretical analyses and empirical studies. Critical and novel approaches and methods are particularly welcome.
We invite contributions from all disciplines of the Humanities and Social Sciences (and related fields). Submissions can be in the form of (a) research papers, theoretical or conceptual papers (b) case studies (c) debates, viewpoints (d) research notes (e) data presentation, and (f) book reviews.
Submission information
Kurdish Studies is published twice a year in May and October. As a guide, full research papers should be between 4,000 and 8,000 words. Please ensure your manuscript follows the format specified in the author guidelines on the journal website.
