      The Gonzaga University Institute for Action Against Hate is soliciting submissions for the eighth volume of its peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary Journal of Hate Studies.

The Institute is interested in articles from various disciplines that address the topic of “The Other Among Us.” In particular, its editors seek articles that focus on immigration, refugees, or second-generation peoples who may have been born in one country but are still seen as representatives of another, tourists, and others who cross national borders.

However, articles are also encouraged from a range of perspectives on engagement or disengagement with “the other” in our society, culture, and lives. The Institute also continues to accept articles related to teaching about hate in the classroom or the strategies for combating it. The Institute extends a special invitation to scholars from disciplines such as history, psychology, sociology, communications, philosophy, women’s studies, anthropology, political science, economics, literature, and religious studies. Submissions are welcome from all disciplines.

Submissions are due by Feb. 1, 2010, and should be between 5,000-10,000 words. Submissions should include one hard copy and an electronic copy in Microsoft Word format. Please do not submit PDF files. Submissions should be presented in American Psychological Association (APA) format and contain endnotes rather than footnotes.

Address submissions and questions to the Gonzaga University Institute for Action Against Hate, AD Box 43, 502 E. Boone Ave., Spokane WA 99258-0043; e-mail address:againsthate@gonzaga.edu; phone: (509) 313-3665.
