Calls for contributions

At Culture Caleidoscoop we work with different themes. For each theme we work towards publishing a mini-issue (for which we follow a set timeline) and we also welcome additional content at later stages (which we publish as and when it is ready).

ALL CFCs REMAIN OPEN. You can also contribute to the theme at a later stage.

Call for Contributions #01

Process after responding to Call for Contributions

Proposals will be looked at by the editing team. You will hear from us by email, within two weeks, inviting you to work on a full contribution or with other feedback. The accepted proposals will be shared among the authors of the special issue to encourage cross-references and collaboration.

Contributor grants

We understand that some people who might be interested in contributing are not paid to do so – because they volunteer or because this type of work isn’t built into their daily work, for example. We recognise the work that goes into creating a contribution for the Culture Caleidoscoop platform and want to remove barriers to contributing where we can. We have a limited number of grants available for individuals and collaborative contributors. Please get in touch if you feel that this financial support could make contributing possible for you or for a potential collaborator.

For the current issue, we also have a special grant available for interdisciplinary contributions, which is generously supported by the Maastricht Centre for Arts and Heritage, Culture and Conservation. Please get in touch if you feel that this financial support could make contributing possible for you or for a potential collaborator.
