Subject: Oxford Intersections - "Social Media and Language" (Jrnl)


Journal: Oxford Intersections
Issue: Social Media and Language

Call for Papers: Oxford Intersections: Social Media and Language
In 2025, Oxford University Press launched a new type of resource:
Oxford Intersections. Oxford Intersections reflects the critical role
that peer-reviewed interdisciplinary research plays in helping policy-
and decision-makers tackle the world’s most complex and urgent
environmental, cultural, political, and social challenges.
Topics of Interest: We invite abstracts for the Social Media and
Language section of the Social Media in Society and Culture
Intersection. This section brings together and promotes cutting-edge
research from varied methodological and theoretical perspectives to
explore how online users employ language and other semiotic resources
creatively and strategically — including everyday communication,
entertainment, activism, influence, and conflict — while addressing
the evolving roles of digital environments, AI, and algorithms in
shaping discourse and negotiating identities and ideologies in digital
spaces.
Authorship: Oxford Intersections welcomes contributors from diverse
backgrounds, spanning disciplines, institutions, geographies, and
career stages. Authors may include researchers, academics,
professionals, practitioners, and PhD students. Authors must hold a
research degree (master’s or higher).
Submission Guidelines:
Manuscripts should be original and not previously published or under
consideration elsewhere.
If accepted, articles should run between 6,000-10,000 words and will
be rigorously peer-reviewed before publication.
To be considered, submit abstracts of no more than 500 words with your
CV to Alla Tovares at atovares at howard.edu
Key Dates:
Abstract Submission Deadline: October 20, 2026
Notification of Acceptance of Abstract: November 5, 2026
Final Manuscript Due: February 20, 2026
(Early submissions are welcome.)
More about Oxford Intersections:
Oxford Intersections is indexed in major academic databases including
EBSCO and ProQuest, with Scopus indexing forthcoming. The Social Media
and Language section, like the other sections of the Social Media in
Society and Culture Intersection, is not a handbook or an
encyclopedia; it consists of original research articles, of a similar
length to journal articles but within a unique planned structure
designed to utilize the digital medium to bring together all the
intersecting and cross-connected aspects of a deeply interdisciplinary
subject, under the larger umbrella. Accepted manuscripts will undergo
a rigorous peer-review process to ensure academic
standards and relevance to the overall ethos of the Intersections
project. They will be posted online as the final versions are
accepted, meaning authors will not need to wait for other
contributors. Please see more here:

Section Editors:
Cynthia Gordon, Georgetown University
Hanwool Choe, University of Hong Kong
Alla Tovares, Howard University
