Call for articles, Thematic Issue of Terrae Incognitae: "The Explored"

Proposals for this thematic issue of our journal, presently in its 50th year in print, will examine the experience of being explored. Contributions will ideally feature the perspective of exploration through first-hand accounts and develop a critical engagement with the subject matter that also elevates typically underrepresented voices, perspectives, and experiences within the context of exploration history.

Terrae Incognitae publishes material relating to any period of exploration history up to the mid-twentieth century. Please send 150-word abstracts stating the subject of the contribution as well as its critical frame, citing as necessary examples of the primary and secondary literature that will feature prominently in the submission, to the editor, Dr. Lauren Beck (lbeck@mta.ca) no later than May 30, 2018. Full-length manuscripts prepared according to the journal’s style guide will be due October 30, 2018 and undergo double-blind peer review. The issue will be published in mid-2019.
