Emotions: History, Culture, Society (EHCS) calls for proposals for thematic issues for its 2022 volume. Issues can be on any topic that falls within the journal’s remit to enhance our understanding of emotions as temporally and geographically situated phenomena. Issues should be theoretically informed and bring a
range of methodological perspectives to the topic. ‘Methodology’ here is construed broadly to incorporate different disciplinary, theoretical and methodological approaches.
Issues are a maximum of 64,000 words. They will typically consist of around eight articles, including a scholarly introduction. Essays should be original and not published elsewhere.
The guest editor/s will be responsible for providing copy ready for peer review before September 2021. All copy should conform to the EHCS Style Guide. The journal editors will be responsible for arranging reviews; any final decision over publication will lie with them.
Emotions: History, Culture, Society Proposals should consist of:
- Title
- Description of the theme and its contribution to the field of emotions scholarship (500–1000 words);
- 300-word biography for each editor, indicating their expertise on the topic;
- List of confirmed contributors (including short biographies), article titles and 300-word abstracts.
Proposals are due by 15 October 2020 and should be emailed to editemotions@gmail.com.
Editorial Process
Proposals will be assessed on the following basis:
- Suitability for the journal;

Range of perspectives brought to the theme by the individual contributions;

Where necessary, the guest editor/s will work with the authors to bring the submissions to required quality. Occasionally, an article will be determined as not suitable for publication after review or following revision. The final decision to publish is reserved by the EHCS editors.
