Journal of Festive Studies
I am one of two Editors-in-Chief. Please consider our journal for academic and creative work that touches on festivity.
ISSN 2641-9939
I worked first as co-Editor for Issue 5, including special sections on "Event Horizons" and "Party Tourism."
About the Journal
Published online once a year, the Journal of Festive Studies provides a forum for those who share an interest in the world’s diversity of festivities, including holiday celebrations, family rituals, carnivals, religious feasts, civic parades, commemorations, music festivals, and more. It encourages submissions of original research and analysis from established and emerging scholars as well as other contributors such as practitioners and curators.
Please check our announcements page for calls for papers related to special topics to be addressed in upcoming issues. Should you be interested in proposing or guest-editing a themed section, please contact the lead co-editors.
While the journal features thematic issues or sections enabling multi-faceted perspectives on a topic, we also welcome contributions on a rolling basis. These may take the form of traditional academic essays or may adopt more creative formats (photographic essays, documentary films, interactive timelines and maps). We also encourage artists to submit their work for our issue cover.
The Journal of Festive Studies encourages submissions examining cases throughout the world, and its own editorial board is internationally based. We are also committed to promoting interdisciplinary dialogue by featuring different methodologies and different conceptual frameworks. We recommend that all authors write in accessible language in order to be as impactful as possible beyond their individual fields of study.
