Here is a reminder of a Call for Papers for Press Start Journal’s upcoming special edition on Body Movements.

We will still be accepting abstracts until 31 October. Submit or view the full CFP at http://press-start.gla.ac.uk/index.php/press-start/announcement/view/15 or see below for a relevant excerpt:

“Articles in Press Start are normally expected to be 3000-5000 words in length but, for this special issue, longer papers will be considered. It is expected that the special issue will be published in December 2017 and the deadline for submissions is 31 October 2017. Early submissions are encouraged!

Members of the Editorial Board will also be hosting workshops at their host institutions (the University of Glasgow, University of Sydney and the University of Central Florida) in order to support authors working on submissions to this special issue. An online workshop will also be run for the benefit of authors unable to attend local events. The workshops are intended for students of all levels, from undergraduate to Ph.D. Details of workshop arrangements will be posted on the journal’s Facebook Group.

Press Start is an open access, peer-reviewed student journal led and fed by students. Press Start publishes the best undergraduate and postgraduate research, essays and dissertations from across the multidisciplinary subject of Game Studies.
