Dear all,
I hope you are well. Please accept my apologies for potential cross-posting.
As
the end of July approaches we'd like to remind members of this list
that the deadline for Find David Bowie: Alternative Approaches to Bowie
and Comics is fast approaching on 1 September 2016.
The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship
invites authors and artists to submit contributions for a special
collection of papers offering alternative scholarly approaches to David
Bowie and comics.
This call for papers explicitly invites submissions
from early-career, marginalised, or underrepresented scholars, including
those who are people of colour, queer, or woman-identifying.
This will be an open access scholarly collection
edited by Dr Brenna Clarke Gray (Douglas College, New Westminster,
Canada) and the
Comics Grid editorial team.
This call for papers seeks to encourage more diverse,
open access comics scholarship around ‘David Bowie’ as a cultural
phenomenon. The editors do not wish to establish thematic or
methodological boundaries to this call, and invite colleagues to submit
research work inspired by its title. Submissions, however, must fulfil
The Comics Grid’s editorial guidelines, which are available
here.

The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship
is published by the Open Library of Humanities. Unlike many open-access
publishers, the Open Library of Humanities does not charge any author
fees. This does not mean that we do not have costs. Instead, our costs
are paid by an
international library consortium. The consortium keeps growing every day.
The
journal’s publisher, Open Library of Humanities, focuses on making
content discoverable and accessible through indexing services. Content
is also archived around the world to ensure long-term availability. OLH
journals are indexed by the following services:
CrossRef, JISC
KB+, SHERPA RoMEO, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), EBSCOHost,
and Google Scholar. In addition, all journals are available for
harvesting via OAI-PMH.
To ensure permanency of all publications,
this journal also utilises CLOCKSS, and LOCKSS archiving systems to
create permanent archives for the purposes of preservation and
restoration.
