Animation Studies

Aims & Scope

Animation Studies is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal that publishes original English-language essays of between 5,000 and 10,000 words (including endnotes and bibliography) on the history, theory, aesthetics and practice of animated media. Animation Studies provides an open-access online platform for scholarship and debate on the history, theory, aesthetics, technology and practice of global animated media. The journal publishes original research on topics including (but not limited to) animation theory; animation style, form, and technique; global histories of animation; animation and documentary; animation industries and animation labor; animation pedagogy and archives; expanded animation and mixed media; and intersections between animation and related media. Animation Studies welcomes politically engaged approaches to issues of gender, sexuality, race, and class in animated media. Early career and underrepresented researchers are especially encouraged to send in their work.
