Dear Colleagues,The 21^{st<\/sup>\u00a0century is almost 20 years old. We are long past Y2K and somehow survived both Harold Camping\u2019s predictions for May 2011 and the end of the Mayan Calendar in 2012. But the steady drumbeat of climate change continues to sound underneath the ever-louder clanging of right-wing political denials of global warming. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists moved the Doomsday Clock 30 seconds closer to midnight in January 2018. Evangelical Christians embrace the current U.S. administration as part of God\u2019s plan and look to the End Times. Whither apocalypticism? And where will apocalyptic studies go next? This special issue will collect essays by emerging and established experts in apocalyptic studies, broadly conceived, asking and answering these questions. We are looking for new methodological and theoretical inquiries, transnational and other comparative studies, and research on fresh or ignored areas within apocalyptic studies. In addition to more established methods such as cultural, ethical, feminist, literary, social and theological approaches, we seek studies employing newer and less represented methods such as disabilities studies, ecological and environmental criticism, and queer and transgender studies. And we seek articles that broaden the range of apocalyptic studies, both temporally and geographically. New and junior scholars are strongly urged to submit papers.<\/p>\n}

Please share this call for papers and I look forward to reading your submissions.<\/p>\n

Prof. Dr. Robert M. Royalty, Jr.
