The University of Pittsburgh’s Jazz Studies program in collaboration with the University of Illinois Press invites scholars and artists to submit proposals for research articles, reviews, and oral histories for upcoming issues of Jazz and Culture.
Jazz and Culture is an annual, peer-reviewed publication devoted to publishing cutting-edge research on jazz from multiple perspectives. All methodological approaches are welcome, including ethno/musicology, music theory, and critical and cultural studies. Drawing upon recent trends in music scholarship, we further seek to interrogate a range of issues connecting music, race, class, gender, and other realms of social practice. We particularly encourage submissions exploring the music’s international scope.
We request submissions in the following categories:
Academic Articles in approximately 10,000 words.
Oral Histories of Jazz Artists
Book and Media Reviews (1,000-2,000 words)
Submission guidelines can be found at the journal website at https://www.press.uillinois.edu/journals/jac/jacsubmissions.html.
To submit, please send submissions to michaelheller@brandeis.edu and pittjazz@pitt.edu.
For questions email: Editor-In-Chief Michael Heller at michaelheller@brandeis.edu.
