Call for Papers 2023

Connections: A Journal of Language, Media, and Culture invites high-quality research
submissions and creative work for our 2023 publication. Connections is committed to elevating
and supporting graduate-level and early-career research from interdisciplinary subject areas. Our
third issue will center on the themes of turmoil, conflict, and disruption across the world. In the
spirit of the journal’s title, Connections, we particularly encourage submissions that explore
connections built in times of disruption and turmoil and/or aimed at surmounting conflict. We
hope this theme will allow for nuanced interpretation.

The journal welcomes original research manuscripts and creative works in a variety of languages
from graduate students and early-career scholars throughout the world, including scholars
working with non-normative or counter-hegemonic forms of research (i.e., research creation).
Connections’ scope includes, but is not limited to, the following domains:

● Applied and Mixed Methods Linguistics
● Translation (both Literary and Other)
● Transnational and Comparative Literatures
● Media and Culture
● Digital Humanities
● Art and Creation

The journal is seeking submissions that showcase innovative research that falls within our scope;
however, we are open to accepting submissions that may reside outside of this CFP description.
Please note that Connections is inclusive to non-English submissions and our editorial team will
employ every effort to locate appropriate reviewers. However, abstracts and keywords must be
provided in English for search purposes. All manuscripts should comply with the submission
guidelines and be submitted electronically through the Connections: A Journal of Language,
Media and Culture submission website, connectionsjournal.ca. Please submit before January
15, 2024. If you have any questions, please direct them to cnctjrnl@ualberta.ca.
