Volume 23 Call for Papers: Grains

2025-10-28

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.
