49th Parallel: An Interdisciplinary Journal of North American Studies
|
49th Parallel is an interdisciplinary e-journal devoted to American and Canadian studies and looks to promote innovative and challenging academic work. The journal takes its name from the 1,270 mile border separating USA and Canada, and in this sense is keen to encourage dialogues and debates which transcend the boundaries of customary theoretical approaches to the culture, history, and politics of the North American continent. 49th Parallel was established in 1999 at the University of Birmingham as a peer-review journal for a broad range of American Studies subjects, including history, politics, foreign relations, literature, culture, film and television. It has since expanded and published its 24th issue in 2010. It is run by post-graduates from both Birmingham and Nottingham and we encourage submissions from postgraduates and early-career researchers, as well as more established scholars, which is reflected in the range of published articles. Previous editors include Chris Emery, Euan Gallivan, Joseph Roper, Eva Rus, Mark Straw, James Boys and Andrew Johnstone. |
