Calls for proposals

EJES takes an interest in topics that investigate the borders and intersections between different research fields in English studies, including, but not limited to, literary analysis, linguistics, critical and cultural theory, and gender and sexuality studies. This expansive focus allows the journal to encompass the plurality of English studies in Europe, a reflection of its affiliation with the European Society for the Study of English (ESSE). Topics of special issues feature high-level scholarship as well as a reflection on the argumentative strategies behind ongoing work and emerging directions in the study of Anglophone language and culture. Guest editing teams should consist of two or three scholars who work in different locations within Europe and who have some previous editorial experience. In some cases, EJES publishes issues that have grown out of a conference, a conference panel, or a (preferably trans-European) funded research project. Such issues can be considered if the resulting CFP also appeals to scholars who did not participate in the original enterprise. All submissions undergo a double-blind peer-review process. Proposals for topics for volume 32 (2028) should be sent to the editors before 30 September 2026: Isabel Carrera Suárez (University of Oviedo): icarrera@uniovi.es Katerina Kitsi-Mitakou (Artistotle University of Thessaloniki): katkit@enl.auth.gr Frederik Van Dam (Radboud University, Nijmegen): frederik.vandam@ru.nl
