[Linganth] CFP--Signal/Noise themed issue of Anthropology News

[Sarah Muir]

Dear colleagues,

We are seeking articles for the second 2025 Society for Linguistic Anthropology section column of Anthropology News.

The journal is now published exclusively online and is organized thematically. The upcoming theme is signal/noise:

Anthropology News invites submissions on the theme of signal/noise. We are looking for stories about how communities, cultures, and individuals distinguish meaningful patterns from background noise, interpret disruptions, and find (dis)connection amid interference. What counts as signal versus noise, and who gets to decide? How are fuzzy boundaries clarified or precarious structures disrupted? What happens when communication is both necessary and fraught, or what makes messages shared or misconstrued?

Anthropology News publishes pieces that are legible to a broad audience within and beyond the discipline. Pieces can be either stories or photo essays:

  *
Stories—short-form exploration of an interesting topic with detail and depth, up to 1600 words
  *
Photo essays—s​ix to eight high-quality, visually compelling images + up to 750 words of introductory text

If you have an idea that brings a linguistic anthropological perspective to the theme of migration, please contact the SLA column co-editors, Courtney Handman (chandman at austin.utexas.edu<mailto:chandman at austin.utexas.edu>) and Sarah Muir (smuir at ccny.cuny.edu). Anthropology News is able to publish only one SLA piece per theme, and the deadline for initial editorial review is March 1, 2025 (with anticipated publication by June 31, 2025). We encourage submissions from both students and faculty. We provide strong editorial support as well as quick turn-around from submission to publication. Reach out to us to see if your idea for a story or photo essay on signal/noise might be a good fit.

Thanks for your consideration!
Courtney and Sarah
