CALL FOR PAPERS:

North Dakota Quarterly (NDQ), Volume 80, Number 2

Special Issue: Slow

Guest Editors: William Caraher (University of North Dakota)

and A. Rebecca Rozelle-Stone (University of North Dakota)

North Dakota Quarterly, an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal, seeks contributions for a special issue on the theme of “Slow.” In recent years, there has been increasing attention paid to slowing down various aspects of our lives as we attempt to navigate a fast-paced, instantaneously gratifying, highly technologized, and digital milieu. The “slow movement” has become a distinct cultural presence, affecting our thinking about food, art, design, religion, travel, parenting, recreation, pedagogy, and more. We invite non-fiction essays, short fiction pieces, poems, and artistic images that address or are inspired by this concept of “slow” and its emerging importance. We are interested in perspectives on the significance of “slow” from a diversity of disciplines, including: art, cultural studies, history, literature, philosophy, religious studies, and sciences, among others. Non-fiction submissions should be written for a broad audience.

Length: Non-fiction essays and fiction writing should be no longer than 6,000 words, inclusive of notes.

Deadline: October 1, 2014
