Humanimalia: A Journal of Human/Animal Interface Studies (http://www.depauw.edu/humanimalia) is a peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal published by DePauw University and edited by Ralph Acampora, Lynda Birke, Istvan Csicsery-Ronay Jr., Joan Gordon, Susan McHugh, and Sherryl Vint.  Our editorial advisory board includes Jody Berland (York University), Jonathan Burt, (London, UK), Matthew Calarco (California State University - Fullerton), Una Chauduri (New York University), Etelka de Laczay (Greencastle, USA), Erica Fudge (Middlesex University), Donna Haraway (University of California - Santa Cruz), N. Katherine Hayles (Duke University), China Miéville (London, UK), Alyce Miller (Indiana University), Harriet Ritvo (MIT), David Rothenberg (New Jersey Institute of Technology), Barbara Hernnstein Smith (Duke University/Brown University), and Cary Wolfe (Rice University).

Humanimalia has three aims: to explore and advance the vast range of scholarship on human/animal relations, to encourage exchange among scholars working within a variety of disciplinary perspectives, and to promote dialogue between the academic community and those working closely with animals in non-academic fields.

We invite innovative work that situates these topics within contemporary culture via a variety of critical approaches, including but not limited to feminism, queer theory, critical race studies, political economy, ethnography, ethnozoology, literary criticism, science and technology studies, and media studies. Ideally, we seek papers that combine approaches, or at the very least draw upon research in other disciplines to contextualize their arguments.  As much as possible, we seek papers that connect their analyses of animals and human/animal interactions to existing material practices related to animals or the discourse of animality. 

We publish articles of 5000-9000 words and seek both broad, theoretical submissions that have a conceptual focus and intervene in the field of animal studies, and also more particularly focused works that situate their arguments within more specific fields, debates and examples.  Articles are blind peer reviewed.

We also invite concise, thematically contained short essays that provide insight into current developments and debates surrounding any topic related to animal studies (1,500-2,500 words). 

Humanimalia also reviews items of interest in the fields of animal studies, including books, new journals, DVDs, and conferences. Reviews should involve a description of the item's content, an assessment of its likely audience, and an evaluation of its importance in a larger context (1,500–2,500 words). Review submissions undergo editorial review.

Submit work in RTF format to Istvan Csicsery-Ronay (icronay@depauw.edu) or Sherryl Vint (svint@brocku.ca). MLA documentation is preferred. We encourage multimedia submissions and welcome you to submit images (in .jpg format), video clips (in flash video format), and audio files (in .mp3 format) as part of your work.
