<p>HypheNation:</p><p>HypheNation is a new interdisciplinary journal for the study of critical moments discourse. It aims to support and showcase the work of Emory graduate students and graduate students in the broader academic community. We accept forward-thinking and critical work that is intentionally interdisciplinary in topic, scope, and method. Beyond exposing our audience to the insights gained by interdisciplinary approaches to scholarship, we hope that submissions will also contribute to our understanding of interdisciplinarity as an idea, as a way to shape and re-imagine academic and non-academic communities, and as one of the most productive modes of approaching contemporary scholarship. In other words, we want to hear from scholars who are thinking about what it means to live life on the hyphen, the scholars for whom the generative force of their work comes both from the friction of forcing two or more disciplines to converse with each other and from allowing disciplines that would converse the space for those conversations to occur.</p><p>HypheNation is published twice annually-in November and June. Papers for the inaugural issue were requested by the staff from the community of scholars who could speak to significance of this historical undertaking. Details for the call for papers for the next issue are listed below.</p><p>HypheNation is a free access online journal and all essays and reviews are downloadable using Adobe Acrobat Reader.
