MusicTheatreDance seeks submissions across the full range of content and form, including traditional academic scholarship, artistic work, pedagogical scholarship, and other forms of research. Although the editorial team welcomes submissions on all applicable topics, special consideration will be given to submissions aligned with the objectives of MTDA: those which de-center white cis-heteropatriarchy. In particular, the editors encourage submissions that foreground equitable and anti-racist practices and methodologies, and/or that elevate the work of BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled, women-identified, and global-majority artists and scholars.
The editorial team invites you to submit work for the journal’s three sections.
Peer-Reviewed
Longer-form peer-reviewed contributions (in the range of approximately 5,000 to 7,000 words for text-based submissions, though submissions of other media are encouraged)
In Process
Less formal, refereed (but not peer-reviewed), shorter-form contributions, including and especially experiments in form and works-in-process
In Response
A medley of book and performance reviews, open letters, and other such responses to happenings in the field, which may take many forms.
Submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis, and authors/creators should submit directly below. If your work takes a multimedia or nontraditional form that is not easily uploadable there, please send a query, including a complete project description and explanation of its form, in lieu of the completed work itself. Conventional texts should be prepared according to the Chicago Manual of Style. All submissions considered for the Peer-Reviewed section will be subject to anonymous evaluation.
