Call for Submissions: Journal of Medieval Worlds Special Issue: Fragments I: Putting the Worlds Back Together (Spring 2027) Submission Type: Short Essays & Critical Responses (1,000–3,000 words)
The Journal of Medieval Worlds is relaunching with a special issue dedicated to the “fragment” as a critical lens. We invite submissions of short-form essays that address the evolving landscape of Medieval Studies, with an emphasis on race, gender, sexuality, decolonization, and the Global Middle Ages.
This is a unique opportunity to publish shorter, critically engaged work that reflects on:
•. Archival Fragments: How do we build history from residue and partial objects?
• Professional Fragmentation: The experience of the “Lone Medievalist” or contingent faculty.
•. Global Perspectives: How the Global Middle Ages has shifted pedagogical and scholarly approaches.
Submission Deadline: August 15. Full Call for Submissions: Here. Send manuscripts to: JMW_editorial@ucpress.edu Journal Details: https://online.ucpress.edu/jmw
