Journal of Medieval Iberian Studies
Call for Submissions
The Journal of Medieval Iberian Studies is an interdisciplinary journal for innovative scholarship on the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic cultures of the Iberian Peninsula from the fifth to the sixteenth centuries. JMIS encompasses archaeology, art and architecture, music, philosophy and religious studies, as well as history, codicology, manuscript studies and the multiple Arabic, Latin, Romance, and Hebrew linguistic and literary traditions of Iberia. Essays that engage with multiple disciplinary perspectives, non-traditional submissions (including multimedia and theoretically attuned work), and comparative articles addressing the significance for medieval Iberian studies of broader developments in medieval European, colonial Latin American, Peninsular or North African studies—and vice versa—are strongly encouraged. JMIS, which is supported in part by the Medieval Institute and the Graduate College at Western Michigan University and by Hofstra University, will be published twice a year, with occasional thematic clusters.
Submissions for consideration must be prepared in Chicago ‘humanities’ style, and should not exceed 10,000 words; shorter pieces, and non-traditional submissions, are welcomed.
Articles for consideration should be submitted by electronic attachment, preferably in Rich Text Format (.rtf.) or Word Document (.doc) format, to: Simon Doubleday, Julio Escalona, and Pablo Pastrana-Pérez. Please indicate your full title, institutional address, telephone, fax and e-mail, and include a note indicating your institutional affiliation, select publications, academic interests, and current projects.
Contributors are requested to submit articles in Times New Roman 12pt; manuscripts using Arabic diacriticals should be submitted, if possible, using Arial Unicode MS 11pt (if sent from a Windows OS) or Jaghbub Unicode font 12pt (if sent from a Mac OS). Articles with non-Roman characters should also be sent in Acrobat Portable Document Format (.pdf).
Submissions in English are preferred; however, submissions in other languages may be accepted at the discretion of the editors.
