Shift: Graduate Journal of Visual and Material Culture
Proposals due 1 March 2012

Shift welcomes academic papers, exhibition and book reviews, as well as discussions concerning other art-related events from current graduate students. The committee welcomes submissions dealing with visual and material  culture from any discipline. Papers may address a full range of topics and historical periods. Topics may include, but are not limited to, art and propaganda, patronage, gender and identity, spirituality and art, nationalisms and regionalisms, modernism and modernity, performance art, photography and film, perspectives in theory, methodology, and historiography, collection and representation, art and technology. Please see Submission and Style Guidelines on our website for appropriate guidelines.

For each issue, submitted papers will be reviewed by an Editorial Committee composed of current graduate students from The University of Western Ontario. Papers considered the strongest will be sent to the Editorial Board, which is composed of upper-level graduate students and established scholars. Papers judged by the Editorial Board as contributing to existing scholarship will be accepted for publication in the journal. All papers are selected by blind jury panel, and are therefore considered refereed.

This journal is an online publication. All manuscripts should be sent by email to editors@shiftjournal.org. Papers must be submitted to the editors of Shift by 1 March 2012. The issue launch will take place 1 October 2012.
