A few weeks ago, we looked at the Humanities Collection of Project MUSE, a newly added database provided by the School of Humanities and Social Science and the Library, which adds significantly to material available for writing, education, literature, social science, and other fields.
But Project MUSE has a lot of parts, and one other part that we have acquired is the Global Cultural Studies journal supplement. This section adds access to 20 additional full text journals that are relevant to any student of contemporary culture. This includes American studies, ethnic studies – including Asian, Latin American, African-American, and indigenous studies – women’s and gender studies, disability studies, and more.
One of the new journals is The Global South, which focuses on the literature and culture of the parts of the world that have experienced the most political, social, and economic upheaval. Another is Jeunesse: Young People, Texts, Cultures, which looks at cultural material by and for children and young adults – including literature, media, toys, digital culture, and more. Qui Parle: Critical Humanities and Social Sciences focuses on theoretical and critical work in the humanities and social sciences, especially those which challenge conventional understandings of reading and scholarship in academia. The Journal of Haitian Studies is the only refereed journal dedicated to scholarship on Haiti and includes material across the sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities. Caribbean Studies includes articles, research notes, book reviews, news, and more about the islands of the Caribbean. And the Journal of Jewish Identities focuses on diverse ideas concerning the formations of, and transformations in, Jewish identities in its various aspects, layers, and manifestations, including empirical and theoretical articles, interdisciplinary research studies, and case studies.
