Volume 8, Issue 2: On Memory

CALL FOR PAPERS

Deadline for Submissions: jUNE 30, 2024

Process: Journal of Multidisciplinary Undergraduate Scholarship invites submissions for Issue 8.2, On Memory. For this issue, we seek thought-provoking, critical work from a range of disciplines and perspectives. Approaches to the topic might consider but are not limited to:

• The science of remembering: how are memories created and stored by the brain?

• Commemoration: how do we determine who, and what, is remembered?

• Cultural memory: how, and what, do we collectively remember?

• Embodied memory: does the body hold memories differently than the mind?

• Memory and the senses: how do the different senses activate remembrance?

• Ecological memory: what does a plant or an ecosystem remember?

• Generational memory: how do we pass histories down?

• Epigenetic memory: what do our genes remember?

• Shifts in memory: what happens when memories change?

• Forgetting: what do we choose not to remember? What happens when we forget?

We accept two general types of submissions: critical essays and non-traditional (or multimodal) compositions, such as poems, short stories, or digital artifacts. All traditional essay submissions should be 2500–5000 words and follow appropriate disciplinary guidelines with respect to style and citations. 

Please include a 250-word abstract outlining project goals and how the contribution meaningfully engages with ongoing scholarly conversations.

Please submit pieces for review by following the instructions on the Submissions page of the Process website and include your full name and email address on the submitted document.

Questions may be directed to the editorial board at processjmus@gmail.com. This issue of Process will focus on memory. General submissions not related to this theme, if accepted, will be saved for a suitable future issue at the discretion of the editorial board.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS: JUNE 30, 2024
