[ecrea] Call For Papers: Journal of Science and Popular Culture

*Call For Papers: Journal of Science and Popular Culture*
Co-Editors: Steven Gil and Bill Lott
The integral place of science in global society as well as the 
proliferation of science and technology on television, in films, and 
across the internet, makes it more important than ever to examine the 
dynamic and complex connections between popular culture and science. 
Studying science and popular culture is essential to understanding how 
scientific ideas are utilized, explored, critiqued and sometimes 
exploited outside of their formal contexts. Similarly, it provides 
insight for evaluating the many levels at which popular culture inflects 
and frames scientific knowledge, research, and understanding.
Working with a distinguished international board, the /Journal of 
Science and Popular Culture/ - a new, peer-reviewed academic publication 
- aims to create a unique forum in which to analyse, chronicle, and 
interpret the interrelationship of science and society. Contributions 
from academics, scientists, communicators, industry professionals, 
practitioners, and others with an interest in the interface of science 
and culture are now invited. The first issue will be in print October 
2017 with ongoing publication starting 2018.
Further information about the journal and its board can be found at:
http://www.intellectbooks.co.uk/journals/view-Journal,id=250/
Any scholarly approaches or disciplines may be used and focus extends 
across all geographic, contemporary, and historical contexts. The 
/Journal of Science and Popular Culture/strongly reinforces 
interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary research, opening up new 
possibilities for inquiry across and between the humanities and sciences.
Full article manuscripts of 6,000-8,000 words (inclusive of notes, 
references and other material), shorter proposals, and inquiries can be 
sent to Steven Gil:
