CfP: Public history reviews for the Journal of the Southern Association for the History of Medicine and Science
The Journal of the Southern Association for the History of Medicine and Science is expanding our coverage to include reviews of museum exhibitions, podcasts, virtual projects, documentaries, and other media designed for a popular audience.
Editors are looking for reviews of ~750 words of current work or future projects that will be launched by the time of publication in spring 2027. Reviews can take any form (narrative, comic—feel free to surprise us!) but should cover the project’s form, aim, where it succeeds or struggles, and who might find it helpful.
We encourage submissions across a wide geographic range, and also encourage writers to consider projects based in Pittsburgh, the site of next year’s SAHMS conference. Before composing a draft, writers are encouraged to send a one-paragraph pitch to Jessica Hester.
