Call for Submissions

Proposals due January 29, 2010

Migration, Mobility, Exchange, and the U.S. South

Southern Spaces (www.southernspaces.org), an online academic journal hosted by
Emory Libraries, invites proposals for essays, photo essays, original
documentaries and multimedia projects about migration, mobility, and exchange
in the regional and global reaches of the U.S. South. We encourage submissions
that combine innovative scholarship and analysis with ideas for digital media
elements such as images, maps, audio, or video.

For this series, Southern Spaces will publish multimedia projects that explore
migration, mobility, and exchange, particularly through audio, film, essay,
art, photography, and other media. Original pieces might examine how the
movements of individuals, populations, goods or ideas shape dynamic spaces,
cultures, and identities within or in circulation with the U.S. South. Areas of
focus could include migration, population displacement, transnationalism,
globalization, geography, histories and legacies of coerced labor, travel and
tourism, trade and industry, military service, language, sports and recreation,
education, health care, epidemiology, foodways, political activism,
environmental issues, popular culture, or the roles of emerging media, online
social networks, and digital technologies. Pieces may focus on cultures,
particular persons, places, industries or events, or, they may compare the
treatment of ideas or images across several works, genres, or decades. To
engage with space and place, projects might examine or compare geographically
specific sites or imagined geographies related to the U.S. South.
