Call for Topics for Three Special Issues of European Journal of English Studies<\/em><\/h1>\n

(Volume 26, to be published in 2022) <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/strong>The <\/strong>European Journal of English Studies<\/em><\/strong> is calling for proposals for the topics of three special issues of the journal that will be published in 2022. EJES<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>or the\u00a0European Journal of English Studies<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0is the official journal of the European Society for the Study of English. The journal is published by Routledge, a division of the Taylor and Francis Group. EJES is peer reviewed, and several recent issues have been reprinted as hardback books by Routledge (Routledge Special Issues as Books). During 2018, EJES received 29,713 full-text downloads from the T&F platform.<\/p>\n

The journal\u2019s acronym \u201cEJES<\/em>\u201d <\/em>reflects its editors\u2019 aspiration to publish cutting-edge research that questions boundaries between literary research, linguistics, and cultural and media studies. Pronounced \u201cedges,\u201d the journal takes an interest in topics that investigate edges of and overlaps between interdisciplinary scholarship in English Studies. \u201cEuropean\u201d does not describe a geography, but a situation in which \u201cEnglish\u201d is studied and taught, across a wide range of disciplines. We are particularly interested in seeing work that addresses crossovers between political and aesthetic issues, also as they are reflected in language use. See\u00a0https:\/\/essenglish.org\/ejes\/aims-and-scopes\/<\/a>\u00a0for Aims and Scope.<\/p>\n

Proposals for themed issues are welcome at any time. Yet a selection of three new topics is made at the end of each calendar year. The current call is for\u00a0Volume 26<\/strong>, to be published in 2022. Guest editing teams are ideally comprised of two or three individuals who are working in different localities within Europe. They should also have significant editing experience. The general editors ask that suggestions for new topics be proposed in the form of a 300 to 500 word call for papers and be submitted to all three general editors, who are listed below. Proposals should be submitted by\u00a015 December<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
