The Journal for the History of Knowledge features an annual special issue, compiled by guest editors, which explores a theme central to the journal’s scope. The special issues of previous years have been Histories of Bureaucratic Knowledge (2020) and Histories of Ignorance (2021).
We are currently accepting proposals for the 2024 Special Issue. Proposals should contain the following:
• A description of the proposed theme (1500-2000 words) highlighting its significance for the history of knowledge
• A table of contents (typically 8-12 articles of 8000 words)
• Abstracts of the articles
• Two-page CVs of the editors; short biographies of the contributors
• An outline of the production process up to manuscript submission. All manuscripts must be submitted to the journal by May 2023.
Please send your proposal to: jhokjournal@gmail.com
Proposal deadline: 1 May 2022
Notification of acceptance: by 30 July 2022
After submission, all manuscripts will go through a process of peer-review, author’s revisions, and copy-editing. JHoK is a diamond Open Access journal, at no charge to the authors.
Details of the journal’s scope and a full list of the editorial team and advisory editorial board is available on the journal’s website.
