Journal Guide

Museum History Journal welcomes the submission of manuscripts, proposals for edited collections of thematically related papers, and proposals for symposium and conference-session proceedings. We interpret "museum" broadly to provide a multidisciplinary forum for studies of a variety of museum-related topics including the histories of institutions, exhibitions, collections, architecture, and individuals’ biographies. Museum types may include not only anthropology, archaeology, art, history, medical, natural history, and science and technology, but related institutions, such as aquaria, arboreta, archives, botanical gardens, historical societies and sites, planetariums, and zoos as well. We also encourage fresh scholarly approaches that integrate historical studies with the methodologies of other humanities and social science disciplines.

NORA is an interdisciplinary journal of gender and women's studies and a conduit for high-quality research from, and across, all disciplines. Rooted in the politics of its Nordic location, the journal recognizes and conveys in particular the situatedness of Nordic feminist research. NORA puts emphasis on the various Nordic positions of feminist research, but simultaneously for its transnational entanglements. In effect, the journal partakes in larger intranational conversations on gender and other intersecting categories of analysis. NORA is thus a forum for transversal conversations, creative and critical feminist thought, and comparative perspectives. Acknowledging the need to speak across borders, NORA challenges academic and disciplinary, linguistic and national limits and boundaries. Situated in the Nordic context and international in scope, the editors welcome contributions from all countries, and from across the full kaleidoscopic range of feminist political, empirical and theoretical standpoints. NORA especially promotes: * Nordic differences: debate among Nordic and non-Nordic feminist researchers on the situated, linked and diverse nature of Nordic feminisms in changing political, historical and cultural contexts. * Intra- and intersectionality studies: creative and critical feminist dialogues and methodological advances across multiple axes of differentiation and signification, such as religion, nationality, sexual orientation, gender, cultural capital, age, mother tongue, dis/ability, to mention only a few. * Engagements with 'the ontological turn' of feminist thought: human and non-human embodiment, posthumanities, biopolitics, animal studies and material feminisms, the environment and the natural sciences. * Power in practice: changing power relations and subjectivities - debates on equality, policy directives and regulations in state and organisation, research politics and social change, gouvernmentality. NORA welcomes submissions that partake in, or reflect, Nordic discussions and research interests within the interdisciplinary field of feminist and gender research. Empirical and thematic, theoretical or more conceptual articles are all welcomed, as are open letters, position papers, book reviews and review articles which set several recent books within the context of past or ongoing debates. Submitted manuscripts must be written in an academic English of international standard in order to be considered for review. British spelling is to be used except in the case of words where 'z' has generally replaced the 's', as in the case of 'organize'. The preferred length of a scientific article is 7-8000 words including notes and references. All articles submitted should be accompanied by an abstract of 150-200 words, and up to 5 key words. For the double blind peer review process to work, the name, or names, of the author(s), must only appear on a separate title page. The separate title page should also include a short biography of the author(s) and indicate the name of the corresponding author for the submitted manuscript.
