JSR:

The _Journal for the Study of Radicalism_ engages in serious, scholarly
exploration of the forms, representations, meanings, and historical 
influences
of radical social movements.  With sensitivity and openness to 
historical and
cultural contexts of the term, we loosely define "radical," as distinguished
from "reformers," to mean groups who seek revolutionary alternatives to
hegemonic social and political institutions, and who use violent or 
non-violent
means to resist authority and to bring about change.

The journal is eclectic, without dogma or strict political agenda, and 
ranges
broadly across social and political groups worldwide, whether typically 
defined
as "left" or "right."  We expect contributors to come from a wide range of
fields and disciplines, including ethnography, sociology, political science,
literature, history, philosophy, critical media studies,literary studies,
religious studies, psychology, women's studies, and critical race 
studies. We
especially welcome articles that reconceptualize definitions and theories of
radicalism, feature underrepresented radical groups, and introduce new
topics and methods of study.

Future issues will address themes such as the reconceptualization of 
"left" and
"right"; radical groups typically ignored in academic scholarship such 
as deep
ecologists, primitivists, and anarchists; the role of science and 
technology in
radical visions; transnational and regional understandings of 
radicalism; and
the relationships of radical movements to land and environment.
