SPOKANE, Wash. — The Gonzaga University Institute for Hate Studies is seeking submissions for Volume 17 of its Journal of Hate Studies, an international scholarly journal to be published in fall 2021. This volume will feature a forum on “Pandemania,” a term describing the ill effects of a society dealing with a lingering pandemic.

Lisa Silvestri, Ph.D., associate professor of communication studies at Gonzaga, will serve as guest editor of this volume of the journal, which is accepting general submissions of 6,000-8,000 words on any topic within the field of hate studies. For the pandemania forum, 3,000-to-5,000-word submissions are sought with potential COVID-19 focused topics that may include, but not be limited to:

  • Racism and anti-racism
  • Xenophobia
  • Protests
  • Policing
  • Masks and social distancing
  • Institutional violence
  • Digital manifestations of hate

Submissions are due Dec. 30, 2020. Notification of acceptance is expected April 30.

First published in 2002, the Journal aims to challenge contemporary hate in society and bring rigorous academic focus on the processes that embolden the expression of hate. The Journal aims to establish a deep repository of theory and research on which to ground practical anti-hate interventions.

For full journal details, including themes and goals, general topic areas, submission instructions or to apply to become a reviewer, please visit: https://jhs.press.gonzaga.edu. For inquiries, contact Professor Silvestri at silvestri@gonzaga.edu or Kem Gambrell, Ph.D., associate professor and chair of the GU Doctoral Program in Leadership Studies, at gambrell@gonzaga.edu.

Recognition of Excellence

The Journal of Hate Studies has received the Seal of Approval from the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), an online directory of high quality, peer-reviewed, open access journals. The seal is awarded to a select number of journals in the DOAJ that adhere to the highest standards of publishing and accessibility.

To qualify for the seal, journals must demonstrate their commitment to open access and publishing best practices by meeting seven criteria in the areas of accessibility, openness, discoverability, reuse, and author rights. Of the 15,000 open access journals indexed in the DOAJ, only 1,398 have received this recognition affirming the Journal of Hate Studies as a top-quality, open access publication venue.

Open access publication allows the research to be distributed online, free of cost to readers. The journal is indexed in nine outlets: Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Sherpa/Romeo, Ex Libris, KB+, EBSCO Knowledge Base, Chronos, CrossRef, Google Scholar, and Ulrich’s. More information can be found at https://jhs.press.gonzaga.edu/.

Partnership with North Idaho College Molstead Library

GU Hosts International Conference Nov. 4-6, 2021

The lessons learned at the conference will inform plans to help educators, researchers, advocates and others better analyze and combat hatred in its many manifestations. Students, academics and professionals are cordially invited to participate in the effort to create socially just and inclusive communities. For more information, visit www.gonzaga.edu/ICOHS.
