Encounters: An International Journal for the Study of Culture and Society
Zayed University is delighted to announce the launch of a new journal. 'Encounters: an International Journal for the Study of Culture and Society' will promote and publish scholarship from the humanities and the social sciences, related to encounters of cultures, intellectual traditions, and social and political systems across space and time. The journal seeks a critical understanding of the transcultural and transnational factors that shape such encounters, and by extension, the world as we know it. The editors encourage contributions that explicitly link the humanities and the social sciences and engage their different methodologies. Regular special volumes will offer stimulating, focused engagement with specific historical, political, cultural, social or theoretical questions.
Encounters has an international Editorial Committee and an Advisory Board of distinguished scholars, including Arjun Appadurai, Peter van der Veer, Lila Abu-Lughod, and Aihwa Ong amongst others. Due to be published in October of 2009, the inaugural issue of Encounters will include articles by Walter Mignolo and Madina Tlostanova, Aneliess Moors, and Ahmed Ali Salem amongst others.
