Volume 23 Call for Papers: Grains
The new UnderCurrents editorial collective is VERY excited to announce our new Call for Papers! Grains.
UnderCurrents Journal of Critical Environmental Studies is inviting submissions that consider:
- Graininess and granularity in perspective and scale
- Grains in circulation (economically, socially, ideologically)
- How do grains sustain bodies, movements, networks, relationships?
- The composite parts that build into gestalts
- Grains as a way of shifting perception on an issue or topic
- How could grain(s) operate as a method? Could they operate as a theory of change?
- The various states of grains
- Corn, maize and (de)coloniality
- Cereals, rices and other grains themselves and their relations
All are welcome to submit; we especially encourage submissions from applicants who are Indigenous, Black, racialized, women, 2SLGBTQ+, disabled, poor, and/or otherwise on the margins.
The deadline for submissions is Friday, January 30th, 2026 at 11:59PM.
