call for abstracts of USAbroad – Journal of American History and Politics, has been extended to May 23, 2021
For the year 2021, USAbroad invites contributors to submit proposals on Social Change and Political Representation in the Long Cycles of American History. The fifth issue of USAbroad will investigate the “long cycles” of American history from a broad historical perspective. We are interested in analyses that detail the historical reasons and actors that drove change in political cycles across time; explorations of the social, cultural and economic features of, and transformations along, one or more phases of U.S. history; researches that focus on presidential policy and shifts in political and scientific culture in the progressive and conservative spheres; critiques and counter-narratives to the “cycle” thesis in American political history.
Applicants are asked to submit an abstract of approximately 500 words, along with a resumé including their main publications, by May 23, 2021. Please send your proposal by email to: usabroad@unibo.it Applicants will be notified regarding the status of the submission by May 30, 2021. The selection of abstracts will be based on a range of criteria including: scientific originality (how does the proposed paper differs from existing literature in the field), use of primary sources (on what sources is the paper based) and adherence to the themes of the call for papers. Abstracts that do not clearly address these three criteria will not be considered for publication. Please note that a final version of the accepted essay must be submitted by September 4, 2021.
USAbroad take this chance to inform you that the fourth issue of the journal is still open and accepts publications with no topic restriction. If you have an article at a late stage of advancement and on a topic that is not relevant to our new CFA, please do not hesitate to bring it to our attention.
