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

Tue Jun 14 08:52:41 GMT 2016





*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:

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:
