Monatshefte 114.3 Special Issue

Monatshefte is pleased to announce a call for proposals for a special issue in 2022. We invite interested guest editors or co-editors to propose a topic with a German Studies focus (broadly conceived) by sending us a list of contributor names, brief abstracts from contributors (300 words maximum), mini-bios of the guest editor(s), and a rationale for the volume of 500-1000 words by January 1, 2021. Typically, Monatshefte issues consist of 5 to 7 articles with 6000-8000 words, but we are open to alternative formats provided they remain roughly within that total length.

We will evaluate the proposals on the basis of the interest and timeliness of the topic, the coherence of contributions as a single issue, the representation of diverse identities and career stages by the contributors, and the expertise of contributors in the topic.

Timeline: 

• Proposals due 1/1/2021
• The editors, in consultation with the editorial board and international advisory board if needed, will make our decision by 2/1/2021
• The completed manuscripts will be due to the editors by 11/30/2021 , after which they will be sent out for peer review.
• Revisions after review will be due by 3/31/2022.
• The issue will appear as issue 114.3, fall 2022.

We are looking forward to receiving your proposals at Monatshefte Editor monatshefte_editor@gns.wisc.edu.
