Issue fourteen of Different Visions is the second of the journal’s open issues, which contain peer-reviewed essays on a variety of timely topics that are published when they are ready. We welcome the submission of individual articles and projects. Different Visions aims for inclusive publishing and welcomes a variety of approaches and topics reflecting the diversity of medieval visual and material culture. It publishes work that engages with all forms of critical theory, including Premodern Critical Race Studies, Gender Studies, the global Middle Ages, and Medievalism. It also welcomes projects that work at the intersection of medieval art history and the digital humanities. In addition, it seeks integrated, socially-engaged, or pedagogical projects that examine the role of medieval visual culture in our contemporary world. Please see our submissions page for more information.
