About This Journal
Reconstruction: Studies in Contemporary Culture (ISSN: 1547-4348) ran from 2001-2017 as an innovative online cultural studies journal. It was dedicated to fostering an intellectual community composed of new and emerging scholars and their audience, granting them all the ability to share thoughts and opinions on the most important and influential work in contemporary interdisciplinary studies.
This journal was one of the first electronic only, open access, peer reviewed, free to publish and read journals. It was hosted by the e-server, first at Carnegie Mellon and later at Iowa State University until the e-server's decommissioning. Originally edited by Davin Heckman and Matthew Wolf-Meyer while both were doctoral students at Bowling Green State University, it grew to include membership that spanned the globe while still bearing traces of its origins and the generous spirit of its founders and their mentors.
In Spring 2024, Old Dominion University Libraries began archiving all issues of the journal. Once this project is completed, the journal may begin accepting submissions.
Indexed in MLA Bibliography (2002-), Humanities International Complete (2011-), Gale Academic OneFile (2015-) and Google Scholar.
