CALL FOR ARTICLES

“Perhaps you may be able to help solve a mystery”: Critical Essays on Unsolved Mysteries

We are looking for proposals or full essays that explore the concept of "waste" from either a literary or a cultural studies perspective. This is a companion to a parallel project dealing with waste through the lens of the social sciences. Now we would like to hear from literary and cultural studies.
