The American Studies Graduate Student Association of the State University of New York at Buffalo is currently accepting submissions for this new publication (print/and web interface). Articles and papers in the humanities, Poetics, Visual Studies, and Public Policy (etc.) are welcome. Those articles that relate to the local/global exchange of ideas and production, and those localized studies that subvert the presumption of the primacy of global connections, are of a particular interest. But as this is both an investigation of the local and the global, all categories and methods of
engagement will be considered; the pivot/point of engagement, process, and thought should be considered along with the particulars of each investigation/inquiry. All papers, conversations, and projects are welcome.
The goal of this issue, ultimately, is to facilitate discussion, collaboration, and inclusivity of language/speaking/sounding/listening particular to categories of community, public debate, and academic discourse.

Please send submissions and inquiries to: rio@buffalo.edu
