News and Announcements

Zapruder World’s Editorial Board is pleased to announce that our journal has officially joined the Radical Open Access Collective (ROAC).

Yesterday, at the age of 89, my friend and mentor, Hayden White, passed. His name will likely survive him forever, connected as it is to the past fifty years of American intellectual history, to the “linguistic turn” in historiography and the humanities, to the rise of “history and theory,” and to “metahistory,” the term he famously coined in an homonymous book in 1973.

Recently, Zapruder World’s Editorial Board began partnering with various organizations, movements, and academic journals in a campaign of mutual promotion.

Below is a “Call for Solidarity Actions” in response to the repression of academics, and academic freedoms, in Turkey under Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s dictatorship-in-formation. Also, see below for additional resources.

A few years ago, a group of scholars and activists affiliated with the Italian collective Storie in Movimento (Histories in Movement) met in a snowy New York City to strategize the organization of an international History and activism open source journal. Soon after, Zapruder World was born.
