Submissions/Translations Wanted: Asymptote Journal

Deadline: Ongoing

Asymptote, an international journal of literature that has previously published new work by authors such as J.M. Coetzee, Lydia Davis, and Haruki Murakami, from over one hundred countries and languages.

At Asymptote we aim to expose our readers to the multitude of perspectives and experiences that exist outside the anglophone and particularly in languages that are not frequently translated. I want to bring more Georgian, North Caucus, Eastern European, and Central Asian voices into the journal and as the Communication Coordinator for so many academic programs in the region, you seem like the perfect point of contact. I’m interested in a whole range of subjects, especially essays and even journalism that speak to conversations about literature, politics, and culture in the region today that outside readers wouldn’t be aware of.

CFP: Special Section in East European Politics and Societies: Political Thought in Central and Eastern Europe

Deadline: September 1, 2025

Proposed title: Political Thought in Central and Eastern Europe

Guest editors:
Aurelian Craiutu, Department of Political Science, Indiana University, Bloomington, USA, acraiutu@iu.edu
Venelin Ganev, Department of Political Science, Miami University of Ohio, USA, ganevvi@MiamiOH.edu

Rationale:
Ideas have always mattered a great deal in Central and Eastern Europe where they had lasting and wide-ranging political implications. The major world wars that started there upended the old global order and redefined the map of the entire world. Regrettably, unlike the case of Russia, the political thought of Central and Eastern Europe has remained understudied in Western academic circles. To give just an example, the influential series of Cambridge History of Political Thought has had virtually no place for Central and Eastern European thinkers. The impact of the ideas of the Enlightenment and Romanticism on intellectual and political life in Central and Eastern Europe has been understudied, along with the emergence of emancipatory national movements or the growth of irrationalism and anti-Semitism in the twentieth century.

CFP: Special Section in East European Politics and Societies: New Debates in Romani Studies

Deadline: August 30, 2025

Proposed title: Contested pasts and enduring injustices: New debates in Romani studies

Romani Studies scholars have recently scrutinized the field’s epistemology and Western paradigms, the lasting effect of structures and inequalities that transcend governmental change, the effect of integration policies and environmental racism, and the ethical imperatives of scholarly engagement with these issues. This thematic cluster invites contributions that critically engage with the newest emerging debates in Romani Studies that interrogate structures of power, racialization, and systemic exclusion in Central and Eastern Europe.

Guest editors:
Delia Popescu, Le Moyne College, US, popescd@lemoyne.edu
Lavinia Stan, St. Francis Xavier University, Canada, lstan@stfx.ca

Format:
We invite submissions for a cluster that will include five research articles authored by established scholars and three articles authored by emerging scholars recruited from among those who will respond to a call posted on the EEPS website and distributed widely through other venues.
