Call for Papers for Volume 1, Issue 2.

New Proposals is an online peer reviewed journal that seeks to create a space for activist, Marxist, and progressive scholars. This journal represents an attempt to explore issues, ideas, and problems that lie at the intersection between the academic disciplines of social science and the body of thought and political practice that has constituted Marxism over the last 150 years.

The Editorial Collective invites submissions from politically engaged scholars that discus the linkage between their political engagements and their academic work.

Papers should be no more than 3,000 – 5,000 words. References and citations are to be kept to the minimum required to advance your argument. Articles can be based in original research, synthetic reviews, or theoretical engagements. We look forward to -in fact expect- a diversity of perspectives and approaches that, while they may disagree on the particulars, they will share with the Editorial Collective a commitment to an engaged scholarship that prioritizes social justice.

For further information or to submit articles for consideration please email us: info@newproposals.ca or register on line through the journal web page New Proposals

New Proposals is a transnational journal hosted at The University of British Columbia in collaboration with the UBC Library EJournal Project.

We have recently started Open Access Research (OAR), a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that will enable greater interaction and facilitate a deeper conversation about open access, including topics such as:

• open access journals

• institutional support for open access

• open access publishing services and software

• open access repositories (both institutional and subject-based)

• electronic theses and dissertations

• the impact of open access on scholarly research and communications.

If you are engaged in research relating to open access, or if you have an article in mind, please contact us. OAR’s first issue will be in August, 2007 and will subsequently be published three times a year. Submissions received by March 31, 2007 will be considered for the August issue; subsequent submissions will be considered for future issues.
