AAR-SW Friends,
Exciting news in the world of academic journals. Editor Elizabeth DePalma Digeser and University of California Press are pleased to announce the launch of a new online quarterly journal beginning in February of 2017: Studies in Late Antiquity. The journal aims to publish interdisciplinary work on topics related to the late ancient world from 150CE to 750CE. The journal is now accepting submissions via the official journal website. Below is Dr. Digeser’s formal announcement.
I’m delighted to announce that UC Press is launching a new journal, Studies in Late Antiquity. We are particularly interested in publishing interdisciplinary, methodologically innovative, or comparative work engaging the Mediterranean with other parts of the late ancient world. All contributions will be double-blind peer-reviewed, and our format will be entirely online—which will allow us to include a wide range of media, from high density photography to GIS to video. We plan a formal launch at this year’s SBL meeting in San Antonio, and are now commissioning articles to fill the quarterly issues for 2017 and 2018.
