Regional Reps Griff Rollefson and Sina Nitzsche are thrilled to announce an OPEN CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS for Global Hip Hop Studies 6.1-2, for publication in 2025. As you might know, GHHS is an open access, peer-reviewed, rigorous and community-responsive academic journal that publishes research on contemporary as well as historical issues and debates surrounding hip hop music and culture around the world, twice annually.
The journal provides a platform for the investigation and critical analysis of hip hop politics, activism, education, media practices and industry analyses as well as manifestations of hip hop culture in all four of the classic elements (DJing/turntablism, MCing/rapping, graffiti/street art and b-boying/b-girling/breaking and other hip hop dances), and the under-examined realms of beatboxing, fashion, identity formation, hip hop nation language (HHNL) and beyond.
After a run of Special Issues, ‘The Hip Hop Atlas’ (now available), ‘Breaking and the Olympics’ (forthcoming 2024) and ‘Knowledge Reigns Supreme’ (forthcoming 2024/25), GHHS is happy to invite submissions on any aspect of hip hop culture in our wide variety of formats:
- Articles (6,000–10,000 words)
- Book Reviews (1,000–2,000 words)
- Media Reviews (1,000–2,000 words)
- ‘In the Cipher’ (artist-centred outputs) (1,000–4,000 words)
- ‘Dive-in-the-Archive’ (archival pieces) (1,000–4,000 words)
