CALL FOR PAPERS- General Issue Interdisciplinarity: Methodological approaches
The Graduate Journal of Social Science (GJSS) is committed to provide examples of and discussions over pluralism in methodology across disciplinary borders. In honor of this commitment, and in light of increasing interest in and need for interdisciplinary research, the GJSS announces a Call for Papers on the topic of interdiscplinarity in contemporary research. The focus of this edition – as will all editions – of the GJSS is on research papers that fall outside the scope of traditional subject divisions. The GJSS is also especially concerned with bridging the transnational gap in both methodological theorizing and academic publishing, and therefore welcomes work from all geographic regions. The GJSS encourages the submission of work by MSc/MA/MS, MPhil, PhD students and junior academics. The GJSS welcomes contributions for its June 2010 issue on interdisciplinarity. Topics include, but are not limited to: discussions of methodological issues of interdisciplinary relevance at the theoretical level examples of this type of research in the form of specific case studies a combination of these two aspects, such as a theoretical discussion with reference to research experiences/data or case studies containing a rich discussion of methodological premises and implications. Submissions on these topics are welcomed from now until December 1, 2009. Articles should be between 5000-7000 words in length (including footnotes). Short essays (2-3,000 words), conference feedback (1,000 words), and book reviews on the topic of interdisciplinarity are also welcome. Submission guidelines can be found at the GJSS website: http://gjss.org The editors of GJSS also welcome proposals for guest-editing original “special editions” of the journal on a rolling basis.
