Call for American Society for Environmental History (ASEH) Journal – Germinate 

Scroll this

The American Society for Environmental History has started a new journal – Germinate: Environmental History Review. Germinate invites work that explores, illuminates, investigates, observes, and/or interprets topics connecting the environmental present with its past. The themes which can be explored are otherwise open, as are geographical locations and time periods, as long as pieces work within the broader aim to connect the environmental present to the past.

Germinate has both a peer reviewed and non-peer reviewed section and is accepting submissions for both sections on an ongoing basis. Pieces submitted before end of quarter dates (March 31, July 31, October 31, and December 31) will be published online on Germinate‘s website over the course of the next quarter as they move through the peer-review process.

The non-peer reviewed section invites creative ways to explore connections between the history of the environment and the present. This can mean narrative pieces, visual essays, videos, poetry, exploratory essays, commentaries, interviews, or other mediums. Creative pieces of all types for the non-peer reviewed section are welcome, and we offer the opportunity to work to develop pieces together.

Research and review articles for the peer reviewed section should be between 2,500 and 3,000 words. The non–peer-reviewed word count can be more flexible, according to submission type.
