Americana student research journal deadline

Submit your papers and projects to the Department of American Studies and Gallivan Program in Journalism, Ethics & Democracy's print and online academic journal Americana! The journal accepts articles, essays, thesis summaries, and multimedia projects. 

Papers and projects can come from your AMST, JED, or SMAC coursework, or they can be research conducted outside of class, but all submissions should be from the fields of AMST, JED, or SMAC, broadly considered. Our journal features four genres (articles, essays, theses, and multimedia) to engage a variety of readers. Articles are short submissions that can be relatively informal and should address and research a topic of general interest. Essays are longer, more scholarly submissions that should deeply research a topic with nuance for an academic audience. Senior theses must come from the AMST senior thesis program and must have a faculty member advisor. Multimedia projects should strategically use their chosen form of media to communicate their research.

If you are a former AMST, JED, or SMAC student (and an alumnus of the University of Notre Dame) and have a paper or project you would like us to consider for our featured retrospective piece, please contact Americana by email: americana@nd.edu.

Submitted papers or projects should never have been previously published in full or in part, and submitted papers should not be submitted for consideration to any journal other than Americana.
