Journal of Cambridge studies (Hereinafter referred to as JCS)is a recognized quarterly registered and published in the UK. Since its first volume, published in 2006, JCS has undergone steady development and enjoyed a growing readership. The scope of JCS now covers a range of humanities and social science subjects including education, linguistics, sociology, philosophy, history, as well as other research fields having a strong inter-disciplinary nature. In contrast to previous volumes, JCS 2009-2010 will focus on a selection of topics of particular scholarly value, which encompass interdisciplinary dialogue and the combination of theory and practice.

We are calling for papers related to the following topics:

•  The Mission of the University: Drawing Insights from Cambridge

•  Darwin and Evolution: A Reassessment in the New Century

•  Science and Humanities: C. P. Snow’s the Two Cultures in Retrospect

•  Contemporary Revaluation of Classical Knowledge

Beginning as a solely educational oriented journal, JCS is an intellectual periodical, which is rapidly expanding into other disciplines. We encourage articles from areas, such as law, economics, management studies and other subjects in social science. Other contributions like book review and interview are also welcome.

•  Law

•  Economics

•  Management studies

•  Other social sciences

If you are not entirely sure whether your article is suitable for JCS, you can direct your inquires with our managing editors: meditors@acs-cam.org.uk
