PNQ is a scholarly journal of Northwest history—the region comprising Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and western Montana.
Any topic pertaining to the history of some portion of this region or of the American West is appropriate, but the editor looks especially for something new in the way of scholarship or some new analysis of an old topic. Essays that are strictly anthropological, economic, architectural, or otherwise specialized will not be considered, nor will pieces that focus on current events, but interdisciplinary treatments are welcome, and comparative studies particularly so. There is no minimum or maximum page length for submissions; 25-30 double-spaced pages of text are usual. Documentation must be prepared as endnotes rather than footnotes or bibliography, and it too must be double-spaced. Authors should submit photocopies of possible illustrative materials along with the manuscript; depending upon the subject matter and available space in the issue, up to ten or a dozen photographs, maps, documents, or other visual records of historical relevance may be used, and all materials lent will be returned.
Every manuscript submitted to PNQ gets an initial reading from the faculty editor, a professor of history at the University of Washington. He then sends it out anonymously to two expert readers for evaluation. The refereeing process can be long; the expert readers take on this unpaid work on their own time, and they usually need a month, or even two, to read, consider, and write their commentaries. When the referees’ reports are in, the managing editor makes his decision to reject the manuscript outright or to guide the author in revising the essay. When the author submits his revised manuscript, it goes back to one or both of the referees for review, and if the evaluations are positive, the managing editor accepts the essay. Scheduling usually occurs within six months; during the course of production, authors will be expected to review copyediting and correct galley proofs. In lieu of pay, they receive copies of the issue in which their work appears.
Please send submissions to: Managing Editor, Pacific Northwest Quarterly, University of Washington, P.O. Box 353587, Seattle, WA 98195-3587 or email pnq@u.washington.edu.
Witnessing Resurgence: Self-Determination and Allyship
University of Bern, Switzerland, 29 June – 1 July 2018
In its fifteenth iteration, the Young Scholars’ Forum invites scholars and the public to look back on Canada’s celebration of its 150th birthday in order to debate the future of Canada and Canadian studies. In particular, though not exclusively, we would like to acknowledge the different and complex ways in which Indigenous voices have responded to the sesquicentennial, which some critics renamed Colonialism 150. At stake is the larger question of reconciliation, the (de)construction of a national and historical master-narrative, the colonial character of the Canadian government, as well as the legitimacy of the Canadian state. How has Canada responded to the challenges of reconciliation? What kind of nation-building discourse did, and still does, Canada create and how does it affect Indigenous peoples? What is the role of academics in all disciplines of Canadian studies in the reconciliation and continuous nation-building process? What does allyship look like in 2018 in academia and beyond?

La collection « Études canadiennes » de l’éditeur académique international Peter Lang est à la recherche de manuscrits originaux qui analysent les multiples facettes de la réalité canadienne ou québécoise dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire. Elle accueille des travaux (monographies, ouvrages collectifs, actes de colloques …) en français et en anglais sur tous les thèmes de recherche en sciences humaines et sociales qui ont pour objet principal le Canada ou le Québec dans leur acception la plus large mais elle met également l’accent sur les travaux comparatistes. L’une des principales originalités de la collection est aussi de publier le fruit des nombreuses recherches menées à l’extérieur du Canada. Les auteurs intéressés à publier dans la collection sont invités à envoyer leur manuscrit terminé ou une présentation détaillée de leur projet en cours à t.waser@peterlang.com ou directement au directeur de la collection, Serge Jaumain (Serge.Jaumain@ulb.ac.be).
The Departments of English and Theatre, History and Classics, Politics, and Sociology of Acadia University invite proposals the 2018 Atlantic Canada Studies Conference, to be held at Acadia University in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada on May 4-6, 2018.
For several decades now, scholars have been attuned to Atlantic Canada’s place in the Atlantic World, and this water-based framework can be extended downward into local economic, social, and cultural networks in the region. Rivers, straits, and bays were the transportation infrastructure of the region, well into the 20th Century. Did these networks and influences survive the triumph of land-based transportation?
Themes and ideas that this conference addresses include: Indigenous narratives; Naming and claiming space; Linguistic and cultural expression; Literary and visual arts; Social capital networks within and across regions; Political literacy and public opinion; Immigration and outmigration; Demographics; Gender and generations.
See the full CfP here.
The deadline for submission of proposals is Nov. 10, 2017.
