The journal welcomes submission of ideas and Guest editors who might wish to curate an issue with a “Forum” or group of articles on a topic of interest to the field. “Forum” guest editors have included Presidents of the American Historical Association and the World History Association, such as Patrick Manning and Laura Mitchell.
