The editors of Retrospect, the history journal of the University of Texas at Dallas (affiliated with the local chapter of Phi Alpha Theta), are inviting submissions for our latest issue. The theme for this issue is “Perceptions of the Past.” We solicit texts that explore how the present shapes our perceptions of the past as well as articles that consider how the concept of the past has been viewed at different times. Perceptions of the past can include views on methodologies, disciplines, periods, events, regions, genders, beliefs, ethnicities, races, and cultures. We welcome submissions from all scholars, but particularly encourage submissions from graduate students and junior scholars.

Papers:

Please submit a curriculum vitae and an abstract (250-300 words) with your article to papersubmissions@gmail.com with "submission to journal" in the subject line. Manuscripts should follow Chicago Style and be prepared for blind review. Retrospect uses Word documents; please include your surname in the filename.

Deadline:

The deadline for article submissions is April 15, 2008. If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Monica Rankin at mrankin@utdallas.edu or (972) 883-2005.
