The final deadline for submission is Friday, September 7. If possible, please notify me of your intent to submit by the start of the rolling period (August 13), so that I can identify peer reviewers in a timely manner.

Please consider the following types of submissions:

PEER-REVIEWED ARTICLES
(1000 words or less, including references)

Special Section Topic in October 2018 Issue:
Child and Youth Displacement
Neos is aware of the current discourses on child and youth displacements that penetrate the geo-political sphere. In the wake of the politics of child separation, we’ve decided to dedicate a special section in the October 2018 issue to scholars who work in the areas of child/youth/family migration, -separation, -displacement, adoption, and trauma. We encourage explorations on these topics through an anthropological lens and will prioritize articles that can draw on one of the following: Ethnographies or field work, interdisciplinarity or intersectionality, and your childhood and youth work’s impact on your own theoretical, methodological, or pedagogical understandings in anthropology. While this special section topic was chosen due to its contemporary reference, we invite submissions dealing with all geographic regions and historic periods.

All peer-reviewed articles submitted to this call should fall into this special section topic. Previously reviewed and accepted articles whose publication was delayed to the October 2018 issue will still be published in this issue. Unfortunately, previously submitted articles pending review will not be considered for this issue. Features (see below) will not be affected by the special section topic.
