Spreading the Wonder: Possible Publication Venues

1. Buzzfeed. I found this on just about every social network simply by existing. In that Buzzfeed is the subject of some of my more biting criticism, I see it only fitting to make a Buzzfeed Communities post to talk about how un-awe-inspiring Buzzfeed really is.

2. Tracking Wonder. I came across this site while doing some research earlier this semester. Davis is active in posting about wonder and awe (posted about a month ago), so he might be willing to do a collaborative post or let me guest blog if I were to contact him.

3. Communication, Culture, & Critique. I found this through a Google search for cultural critique, which I then refined to search for calls for papers. The journal itself is published by the international communication association, and the topic corresponds rather nicely to the overall emphasis of the journal (i.e. communication and cultural criticism).

4. Journal of Digital Culture and Electronic Scholarship. I found this through a Google search for "digital culture critique call for papers." The journal accepts submissions on a variety of topics related to the arts, humanities, or social sciences. Of especial interest in their list of potential topics were applied psychology and cyber-psychology, both of which relate to my study of the chemistry/physiology of awe.

5. Cyberpsychology. I found this one thanks to a keyword that I found in researching the last one: cyberpsychology. This journal publishes works dedicated to social science in cyberspace, so my study of awe in cyberspace should fit in nicely, especially in light of the more psychological components of my research.

6. International Journal of Humanities and Cultural Studies. I found this through the UPenn listings for calls for papers. The journal has an emphasis on interdisciplinary cultural studies, so I think it would be a good fit for my research.
