settler colonial studies

Author guidelines

The essay should include a title page, with a 300-word abstract and list of no more than six keywords, along with the author’s full name, affiliation and contact details. The author’s name must not appear anywhere in the main text.

The articles should be framed in one of the following ways:

• Single case-studies, preferably research aimed at furthering theoretical analysis;
• Contributions to a theoretical appraisal or description of settler colonialism (how it works, where it appears, etc.);
• Applications of critical theory, or a particular thematic approach, to one or more settler colonial place or idea;
• Comparative or transnational analyses involving two or more settler sites;
• Research focusing on evolving relationships between settlers and indigenous peoples;
• Analyses of legal and political ramifications of settler colonial phenomena.

The journal will be accepting feature articles (approx. 6000-9000 words), review articles/essays and discussion papers (1500 words or more). All articles that are submitted to this journal will undergo a peer review process.

Anglo-Australian/Anglo-Canadian English (e.g. -ise not -ize, colour not color, etc.) and ‘in-sentence single inverted-comma quotes’, 'with "quotes-in-quotes" like this', but otherwise loyal to the Chicago Manual of Style. Writing must be presented in a clear, 12-point font, with double spacing and regular margins. Do not indent regular paragraphs. Quotes larger than 40 words should appear indented. ‘Nineteenth’, not ‘19th’.

The decision whether or not to capitalise the term ‘indigenous’ – along with all other ethnic/national/racial terms – is to be made by the author, providing that: (a) their usage is in line with a current trend in their particular field, or region, of study; and (b) it is accompanied by a footnote explaining the author’s reasons for making their decision.

More specific formatting questions can be directed to the editors; otherwise, consult the published issues and emulate exactly.
