Please share widely.</p><p style="margin:6px 0px 0px;display:inline;color:rgb(20,24,35);font-family:helvetica,arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><br>The new journal Language, Culture and History* is issuing a call for papers that examine the linguistic, cultural, and historical aspects of Deaf Empowerment, especially how Deaf-centered identities, activism, and communities have developed over time despite often hostile environments. Examples from all time frames and geographical areas are welcome<br>One example of the kind of papers we are looking for would be on the relationship between the edicts of the Milan Conference of 1880 and Deaf movements today. Modern-day Western Deaf audiences look to the Pre-Milan era as something of a "Golden Age" in part due to the fact during this time, despite widespread prejudice towards Deaf people, their signed languages and cultures were allowed to flourish at schools for the Deaf and their associated communities. The destruction of the signing-oriented Deaf schooling has taken years to overcome but local and international movements have slowly but surely been helping to create new Deaf institutions, spaces, and communities that nourish Deaf identity and language.<br>Papers for the journal should be aimed at a general educated audience including undergraduates. We will have an introduction on issues of Deaf empowerment but assume your readers will have limited background on the topic. All technical terms should be clearly defined. Papers should be four to six thousand words in length, not including references.<br>The issue will be edited by Donald Grushkin and Leila Monaghan. The journal has a two part review system, with both abstracts and papers being peer reviewed. Abstracts are due to Donald Grushkin at <a href="mailto:grushkin@csus.edu" target="_blank">grushkin@csus.edu</a> by May 6. If accepted, drafts are due on August 1.<br>---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>* Elm Academic Press is proud to announce the establishment of a new journal—Language, Culture and History. We will be focusing on the intersections between linguistic anthropology, sociolinguistics, history, and related disciplines that deal with the complex interactions between language, communities, and time.<br>Possible approaches include:<br>--Work that takes a language-oriented approach to historical events, particularly events that were the focus of important new socio-political forms.<br>--Work that focuses on the contemporary construction of the historical past by a range of communities<br>--Analyses of historical common texts by groups of authors<br>--Work that looks at the role of language in the development of political power over time<br>The format will be an innovative mix of open access and traditional print publishing. The current year of work will be available on line at the Society for Linguistic Anthropology website, <a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Flinguisticanthropology.org%2F&h=ZAQGyT8zSAQE6_LqrHJg0no0UrJ2unfkS94J46Hm-80Zz9g&enc=AZN1LoiSQAuWyGUDoquZqtxtYw_mfXhDXr17opXU7qWmloXeaxV4TohfUckdZdEN1_oY9DSxV-P4s9x-Rd9hBsSQHku5l40kvwu9U9k04S6y2UBhW2kYtrzE4Xv-O7NIFGT51CFYmn-4Bjx4eTUW1qmwQqajS5ntiYd6RXdjBo6v0zGEYh0Yy2CVtomSQX3qs1A&s=1" rel="nofollow" style="color:rgb(59,89,152);text-decoration:none" target="_blank">http://linguisticanthropology.org/</a> (Many thanks to the SLA Executive Board, SLA President Bonnie Urcioli, and the SLA webpage editor Chad Nilep for making this possible.) The print version will be published once a year and will collect all the issues of the year. Individual issues will be published in hard copy only in special cases. After the print volume appears, e-versions of the full yearly volume, individual issues, and individual articles will also be available for a modest price.<br>All issues will be themed issues with guest editors playing an important part in the selection of articles and and editing process of each issue.</p><span><font color="#888888"><br clear="all"><div><br></div>-- <br><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><span style="font-family:garamond,serif">Leila Monaghan, PhD</span><br></div><div><span style="font-family:garamond,serif">Publisher, Elm Books</span></div><div><span style="font-family:garamond,serif">Laramie, Wyoming</span></div></div></div></div>
