Smell Studies Journal Call for Papers

CFP: Smell Studies Journal
General Editors: Will Tullett, University of York and Manon Raffard, University of Manchester.
Editorial board: Andrew Kettler, Chanelle Dupuis, Jayanthan Sriram, Ally Louks, Hsuan Hsu, Sandra Barré.

Smell Studies Journal will be the first international peer-reviewed journal devoted to the field of interdisciplinary Smell Studies.

The journal will initially have one issue per year. The journal welcomes contributions from across the humanities and humanistic social sciences, including but not limited to history, cultural history, literary studies, art history, aesthetics, cultural studies, environmental humanities, heritage studies, and curatorial and museum studies. While the journal does not exclude work from the natural or cognitive sciences, submissions from those fields are expected to engage substantively with humanistic frameworks and critical theory.

We are currently planning the first few issues of the journal. These will appear in a prospectus to a leading academic press who have solicited a proposal for consideration with the view to publishing the first issue in early 2028.

We are accepting abstracts for research articles, and ideas for reviews, opinion pieces, creative work, and interviews. Specifically, for research articles please submit a title, 250-word abstract, and either a short biography or a link to where such a biography can be found online. For all other work, or to gauge interest in a research article prior to sending an abstract please e-mail smellstudiesjournal@gmail.com (mailto:smellstudiesjournal@gmail.com).

Initial submissions of abstracts and initial inquiries for the first few issues are requested by the deadline of 1st of August 2026. Completed submissions for the first issue would be requested for January 1 of 2027, with reviews and editing in Spring and Summer of 2027.
