Aside from posts addressing specific themes, Animation Studies 2.0 accepts for consideration on a rolling basis throughout the year:

1) posts either reviewing from a theoretical perspective a recently completed animated work or explaining its genesis. Animation Studies 2.0 provides a space for animators and animation scholars to enter into dialogue so we encourage animation practitioners to submit posts illustrating the rationales behind the creation of their most recently completed animated works, discussing the techniques employed and/or the reason(s) why it was chosen to address a particular topic. These pieces should take a form of a traditional blog post of between 500 and 800 words.

Disclaimer: please note that the blog cannot promote any animated works, however, we encourage scholarly discussions of newly released animations

2) reviews of about 600 words of animation-related books

In both cases, contributors are encouraged to include clips and at least one image to support their posts. Please also include a short bio and three keywords to accompany the post. All permissions are the responsibility of the contributor.

Finally, it is also possible to serve as a guest curator, which involves curating a month around a set animation-related theme of their choice.

Please note that our publication schedule depends on the contributions we receive for each theme. We typically publish 2-3 posts per month, or approximately one post every 2-3 weeks. Contributions related to the current theme are prioritized in the publication schedule.

Please contact co-editors Carmen Hannibal and Anastasiia Gushchina via blog@animationstudies.org with any questions.
