North American Studies (7/31/05; journal issue)

Call for journal submissions

Summer 2005: Open Issue
PLEASE NOTE: Submission Deadline Extended to 31 July

49th Parallel is an interdisciplinary e-journal of the

Canadian studies that looks to promote innovative and
challenging academic work. The journal takes its name
from the 1,270 mile border separating USA and Canada,

debates which transcend the boundaries of customary
theoretical approaches to the culture, history, and
politics of the North American continent.
