In Today’s Mailbag. . .

Oh goody—a new journal dedicated to the holy trinity of race, class, and gender, because I’m sure there’s a shortage of outlets for scholarship in this field.  Here, in full, is an email communication I received today:

Dear Steven Hayward:

ABOUT THE JOURNAL OF RACE, ETHNICITY, AND POLITICS

Journal of Race, Ethnicity, and Politics (JREP) is the official journal of the Race, Ethnicity, and Politics section of the American Political Science Association. JREP highlights critical and timely research into the multiple junctures between politics and issues of race, ethnicity, immigration, and indigeneity, as well as their intersections with other axes of identity and marginalization. The journal publishes work that broadly focuses on racial and ethnic politics, from scholars across all subfields of political science and allied disciplines. The key distinguishing feature of the journal is its focus on politics, whether in a single country, across countries, or transnationally.

JREP is open with respect to areas of substantive focus, with methods and approaches ranging The journal will also provide opportunities for enhanced academic engagement, including a guest column section featuring perspectives from practitioners in political and policy worlds, specialized symposia on timely topics, and blog postings and media engagement by authors, reviewers, and editors.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTRIBUTORS

Instructions for contributors can be found on the JREP website.

As Squidward likes to say on Spongebob Squarepants, “Would that just be the best day ever?!”  I know I can’t wait to dig in.
