READERS, READING AND RECEPTION IN DEVOTIONAL LITERATURE AND PRACTICE
(Essay Collection)
 
We are currently soliciting proposals for essay-length studies about
readers, reading, and reception in devotional literature and practice,
with particular interest in England in the later Middle Ages. This
collection of essays draws on current scholarly interest in medieval
readers, reading, and reception that extends across such disciplinary
bounds as art history, architecture, social history, and literature
studies. We seek proposals for papers that investigate a wide variety
of approaches to and examples of devotional readers, reading or
reception in the later Middle Ages.

Thinking Acts: The Undergraduate Journal of Social and Political Thought
(York University, Cananda)

Thinking Acts is an interdisciplinary, electronic undergraduate journal
focusing on a wide range of topics at the intersection of philosophy,
politics, cultural studies and literary theory. Thinking Acts provides
undergraduate students with a forum for the discussion of the theoretical
legacy of classical thinkers today (from Plato to the twenty-first century)
as well as for theoretical analysis of contemporary world events. The aim of
the journal is to expand the space for interdisciplinary dialogue, critique,
and innovation.
