Special Issue of World History Connected: Art in World History
Submissions due 1 December 2011

The February 2012 issue of the online journal World History Connected will focus on “Art in World History.” It seeks to offer case studies and effective methodological and/or pedagogical approaches highlighting this important aspect of both research and teaching in the field of world history. The editor of the journal, Marc Jason Gilbert, and the guest editor of this forum, Ralph Croizier, seek five sorts of contributions:

1. Scholarly articles focused on the place of art as an important part of world historical networks and processes. Especially welcome are scholarly articles that reference its value in terms of public discourse (exhibitions, museum displays), cross-cultural exchange, and, wherever appropriate, their value in terms of classroom applications.

2. Pedagogically oriented articles discussing the use/treatment of art to the discussion of historical subjects in world history surveys and in more advanced world history courses.

3. Teaching activities and primary sources that involve art in world history.

4. Book review essays that situate art in comparative and global contexts. Given that the audience of World History Connected comprises scholars and teachers at all levels of instruction, these essays would not have to restrict themselves to books published only in the past year or two and may address a broad and general audience.

5. Book reviews of recent books that situate art in comparative and global frameworks.

All prospective authors are urged to visit the journal’s website, http://worldhistoryconnected.press.illinois.edu/ and to please adhere to the format and style sheets available on the website as well as consult published WHC essays as models for their own.
