Dissertation Reviews, 2014-2015 season
DISSERTATION REVIEWS
Founded in 2010, Dissertation Reviews features overviews
of recently defended, unpublished doctoral dissertations in a wide variety of
disciplines across the Humanities and Social Sciences. Our goal is to offer
readers a glimpse of each discipline’s immediate present by focusing on the
window of time between dissertation defense and first book publication.
Each review provides a summary of the author’s main
arguments, the historiographic genealogy in which the author operates, and the
main source bases for his or her research. The reviews are also anticipatory,
making educated assessments of how the research will advance or challenge our
understanding of major issues in the field when it is revised and published in
the future.
Dissertation Reviews also features reviews of and guides
to archives, libraries, databases, and other collections where such
dissertation research was conducted, to help scholars improve their ability to
undertake current and future research. In the 2013-2014 season we have posted
400+ reviews of dissertations and other articles, and we receive around 2,000
visitors daily.
We are now accepting dissertations in Science Studies
(broadly
defined) for review for our 2014-15 season. If you are a
recent PhD
(2012 to the present) and are interested in having your
dissertation reviewed, please provide the necessary information on our Request
Review page on http://dissertationreviews.org/review-be-reviewed.
If you are interested in acting as a reviewer, contributing
a "Fresh from the Archives" or "Talking Shop" article, or
helping the DR Team in some other way, we would love to hear from you. Please
contact us via sciencestudies@dissertationreviews.org
and tell us about your work!
