*CFP* "IN-BETWEEN SPACES", THEMATIC ISSUE, EXCHANGES: THE INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH JOURNAL

Exchanges (ISSN 2053-9665) is a peer-reviewed, open access, scholar-led, interdisciplinary research journal published biannually by the Institute of Advanced Study, University of Warwick since 2013. Exchanges has a mission to champion publications from early career scholars and support discourse between disparate disciplinary traditions. An international Editorial Board of early career researchers manage the journal, along with providing guidance to first-time authors or those unfamiliar with writing for broader audiences. 

For the Spring 2020 issue, we particularly welcome submissions which will contribute to a themed section on in-between spaces. As scholars we are often focussed directly upon examining and understanding specific objects, cultures, properties or thinking. Yet, there is also incredible value in considering what lies between, outside or around our subject focus. 

What surrounds us, can often define, shape, or influence; in all manner of unexpected and revelatory ways. From liminal spaces providing places of transition between what was and what will be, through marginalia, paradata and metadata to vacuums (false or otherwise) or negative-space; that which encloses often provides access to unique and often overlooked revelations as much as our normative focuses of attention.

Hence, we are inviting authors to submit original, exciting, insightful research-based articles addressing some aspect of in-between spaces: however, you or your disciplinary traditions conceptualise them. Exchanges especially welcomes articles tackling this topic by multiple authors with contrasting positions or from disparate fields.

 

Submission deadline: Friday 1st November 2019

Non-thematic manuscripts on any research topic which fulfil our manuscript submission format requirements are welcomed for consideration from scholars or practitioners from any discipline, globally. There is no deadline, and manuscripts completing our editorial and review processes, will be published in the next available issue.

We are happy to receive traditional research or review articles, but especially welcome submissions of interviews with key scholars or critical reflections on important scholarly events, conferences or crucial new texts. Our readership has strong interests in work which encompasses or straddles disciplinary boundaries, prospective authors are strongly encouraged to consider how manuscripts address a broader, interdisciplinary audience.
