CFP for Economic Anthropology (20 Jan 2018)

CALL FOR PAPERS

Volume 6, Number 1

 

The journal of Economic Anthropology (Wiley Blackwell) is calling for open submissions for Volume 6, Number 1, which is to be published in January 2019. EA is a bi-annual refereed journal published by the Society for Economic Anthropology (SEA) to make available research that is innovative and interdisciplinary and focused on economic and social life to serve scholars, practitioners, and general audiences. The journal has recorded the highest rate of growth for readership for all 33 American Anthropological Association journals for the last two years. To further the goal of making the most current research available to a broad audience, EA emphasizes clear and accessible writing. We encourage authors to take advantage of the journal’s online format and incorporate photos, graphics, and links to videos or other related materials. The journal considers the work of scholars and practitioners at all points in their careers, including advanced PhD students.

 

Timeliness is an important consideration in the EA process. It is our goal to bring each issue to final publication within approximately one year from the date of submission. This ambitious deadline represents a big commitment to getting new work out quickly and serves everyone’s interests, including junior scholars who are especially pressed to publish in quality journals without long lead times.

 

The open submission issue features articles spanning a wide array of topics and disciplines including:

Sociocultural Anthropology Archaeology Sociology Linguistics Demography Economics Ecology Geography History Entrepreneurship Tourism Sustainable Human Development Foreign Aid, Donor Decline, and Withdrawal Commodification Globalization Resource Management Migration and Economy Sustainable Livelihoods International Trade Global Food Systems Gender at Work The Household Property

Social Economies of Greed and Excess Political Economy of Cities Inequality Energy and Economy Technologies and the Transformation of Economies Risk and Resilience Financialization Water and Economy Values and Valuables Ecology Corruption Cooperation and Conflict Agriculture and Production Labor Textile Economies Hazards and Disasters Economics and Morality Transformation of Landscape Consumption Informal and Parallel Economies AND MUCH MORE …
