Calls for Contributions to Collective Publications

EJES 2027

Published on 14th July 2025 in Calls for Contributions to Collective Publications, EJES Matters

The European Journal of English Studies is inviting proposals for special issues in volume 31 (2027).

EJES takes an interest in topics that investigate the borders and intersections between different research fields in English studies, including, but not limited to, literary analysis, linguistics, critical and cultural theory, and gender and sexuality studies. This expansive focus allows the journal to encompass the plurality of English studies in Europe, a reflection of its affiliation with the European Society for the Study of English (ESSE). Topics of special issues feature high-level scholarship as well as a reflection on the argumentative strategies behind ongoing work and emerging directions in the study of Anglophone language and culture.

Guest editing teams should consist of two or three scholars who work in different locations within Europe and who have some previous editorial experience. In some cases, EJES publishes issues that have grown out of a conference, a conference panel, or a (preferably trans-European) funded research project. Such issues can be considered if the resulting CFP also appeals to scholars who did not participate in the original enterprise. All submissions undergo a double-blind peer-review process.

Proposals for topics for volume 31 (2027) should be sent to the editors before 30 September 2025:

  • Isabel Carrera Suárez (University of Oviedo): icarrera@uniovi.es
  • Katerina Kitsi-Mitakou (Artistotle University of Thessaloniki): katkit@enl.auth.gr
  • Frederik Van Dam (Radboud University, Nijmegen): frederik.vandam@ru.nl

Procedure

  1. The proposal should include a description of the topic, a list of leading questions (for examples, see the current CFPs on the ESSE website), and brief biographies of the guest editors, detailing their editorial experience.
  2. The general editors will select new topics for the issues before the end of October 2025. Coherence with EJES’s aims (as described above) is the primary criterion. 3. The resulting CFPs will be published on the T&F website and the ESSE website at the beginning of November.
  3. Abstracts for potential submissions will be collected by the end of January 2026. 5. These abstracts will be reviewed by the guest editors and general editors by the end of February 2026.
  4. Selected authors will be invited to submit full-length essays of between 6,000 and 8,000 words by the end of June 2026.
  5. After successful double-blind peer-review in the autumn of 2026, these essays will appear in the EJES issues scheduled for 2027.

These  Special Sections will be guest edited and contributions may be either by direct  invitation from the Guest Editors or by public call.
