Call for Papers

Agora (ISSN 1496-9580 ) is an internationally refereed online graduate journal that provides a public forum for dialogue and debate about literary criticism and pedagogy. Agora welcomes submissions in electronic and/or multimedia formats (i.e. images, audio files, etc) that examine issues or media in the Humanities, literature, literary culture, and the history of communication from the eighteenth century to present-day. Submissions on the teaching in the Humanities and scholarly research that use a multimedia format in its exposition are especially welcome.

Based in the Department of English at the University of Alberta in Canada and published three times a year, Agora invites submissions by graduate students and new scholars from around the world. Agora is comprised of an international board of Associate Editors interested in a wide variety of approaches and disciplines ranging from English literature and cultural history to communication theory and information technologies. The journal is archived in the National Library of Canada and listed in the Canadian Literary Periodical Index.

Manuscripts, with a 200-250 word abstract, will be accepted in either hard-copy or electronic format, although accepted papers must be submitted electronically in accordance with current MLA guidelines and the Agora on-line style sheet. The author's name should not appear on the manuscript, but on a separate cover page, or for e-mail submissions in the body of the e-mail stating name, mailing address, e-mail address and the title of the paper. Electronic submissions may be sent to Agora on a 3.5 diskette, or via e-mail with the subject heading "Submission." Documents should be formatted in MS Word, HTML, or Rich Text Format. Print submissions may be sent in duplicate to:

Agora: Online Graduate Humanities Journal
Department of English
3-5 Humanities Centre
University of Alberta
Edmonton, Alberta
CANADA, T6G 2E5
Hard-copy submissions and diskettes will not be returned.

Please note that the journal enthusiastically supports the inclusion of relevant multimedia materials. Images and photographs are accepted in either .gif or .jpg format and audio files in RealAudio (.ram), MP3, or wavefile (.wav) format and must be included with the submission of the electronic copy. All contributors are requested to specify any applicable copyright restrictions if multimedia material is not strictly the copyright of the author or the public domain.
