The South Shore Journal is an open access peer reviewed general journal, exclusively electronic, and available at http://www.southshorejournal.org. The journal is co-sponsored by Northwest Indiana Quality of Life Council (QLC) and IU Northwest’s Center for Urban and Regional Excellence (CURE). The Editorial Board includes representatives from each of the six universities in the South Shore region. The journal provides a peer-reviewed venue for area scholars to focus their attention and academic resources on the region and allow the editors to showcase the outstanding scholarly work of faculty, student, alumni and residents in Northwest Indiana. The scholarly and creative work published will ideally represent a broad range of academic disciplines, and be inspired by the QLC regional quality indicators that include: a diverse community where residents are treated with equity and dignity; an economically thriving region; a region of opportunity; a region in balance with its environment; a region that facilitates learning and intellectual growth; a healthy community; a region of open neighborhoods; an accessible community; a safe community; a region that appreciates the arts and celebrates life; and a community of engaged and caring citizens.
The theme for the next issue is: “The Realm of Public Memory.” Submissions are invited on various subtopics that are broadly imagined to include, but are not limited to history, commemoration, public history (e.g. historical sites and museums), archival work, education, politics, biography and autobiography, virtual spaces of remembrance, and the arts. Categories of submissions may include:
- Scholarly Research
- History and Advocacy
- Creative Works (writing, poetry, art work, photography)
- Reviews (books, films, documentaries, art shows)
- Essays/Reflective Pieces
- Student Submissions
Please see the South Shore Journal’s (http://www.southshorejournal.org) “Information for Authors” section for specifics regarding manuscript submission.
Articles must be submitted by Monday, January 16, 2012. Two double-blind peer reviews will be solicited and decisions made as to publication by early March 2, 2012.
