Additional Notes

The diverse entry points of scholars in their questions and research related to Bosnia and Herzegovina, the war, and its aftermath suggest that ‘Bosnian Studies’ is an emerging field. The co-edited volume therefore not only examines the emergence of ‘Bosnian Studies’ as a field through the individual chapters of scholars in different disciplines but also demonstrates how migrant and diaspora scholars are contributing to the field’s dynamism and trends in addition to their own disciplines and scholarship.

This call for chapter contributions includes but is not limited to the following topics:

• historical and comparative approaches to Bosnian diaspora communities
• quantitative approaches to Bosnian diaspora and migrant communities
• literary and film contributions of Bosnian migrants and diaspora
• the role of intimacy, religion, and death in Bosnian diaspora communities
• diaspora tourism among the Bosnian diaspora
• remembrance and commemoration, healing and recovery
• mental health and post-traumatic experience

Chapters are expected to be theoretically, conceptually, and/or empirically-based, using different methodological approaches.

If interested, please submit a chapter abstract to the editors. All submissions should be in Word (no more than 400 words) and should include affiliation and a title. Manuscripts should be unpublished and original. Please also attach your most recent CV and a 100-word biography.

Additional details below. Please contact the editors with any questions.
