Humboldt Journal of Social Relations submissions, Jan. 18. The Humboldt Journal of Social Relations (HJSR) invites paper submissions for the 2022 Special Issue #44: Teaching in the Wake of Trump. We invite submissions that explore interdisciplinary techniques, strategies, modalities, theories, concepts, tactics, and antics for teaching in the wake of Trump. By integrating multidisciplinary approaches, we are seeking to unpack the economic, political, cultural, environmental, educational, and social implications of this catastrophic time which will leave negative consequences for years to come. By highlighting pedagogical practices that uplift resistance, struggle, and movement building, we seek to document the many ways instructors, students, and community members are fighting back and building opposition to current conditions of ongoing state violence. We are seeking scholars, activists, artists, critical thinkers, and accomplices who wish to commune in the struggle for collective freedom. Submission Deadline: Jan. 18, 2022. Submission details and portal here.
