UCF Research Guides: Place and Space: Core Journals

Introduction

Because place and space is such a multi-disciplinary subject, you can find articles on this topic in many journals and across the humanities and social sciences. Use the keywords and databases discussed above to search those by subject area. Additionally, we have identified several core journals with a heavy focus on place and space. These journals are the top international venues for scholarship in their specified area and deliver the most recent scholarship in the field of study. Reading selections from any one of these publications affords insight into current trends and topics in spatial studies.

Journals

Deleuze and Guattari Studies
A bold and genuinely interdisciplinary journal, Deleuze and Guattari Studies does not limit itself to any one field: it is neither a philosophy journal, nor a literature journal, nor a cultural studies journal, but all three and more. Articles explore the work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, as well as critical reviews of the growing field, new translations and annotated bibliographies.
Emotion, Space and Society
Emotion, Space and Society provides a forum for multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary debate on theoretically informed research on the emotional intersections between people and places.
Environment, Space, Place
seeks to publish transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary research dedicated to the study of environmental, spatial, and place-oriented dimensions of knowledge in ways that are meaningful beyond the boundaries of traditional academic disciplines.
Gender, place and culture : a journal of feminist geography
An international journal of gender issues in human geography including feminist geographies of difference, resistance and marginality.
Health and Place
An interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the study of all aspects of health and health care in which place or location matters.
Places: Forum of Design for the Public Realm
Incorporates writings from a variety of fields in design, the arts and social sciences, which provides an alternative to both commercial and theoretical architecture and planning-design magazines, covering buildings, landscapes, public art, etc.
Population, Space and Place
Population, Space and Place aims to be the leading English-language research journal in the field of population geography and in geographical population studies. This implies all submitted papers should have a geographical or spatial component.
Rhizomes
Rhizomes oppose the idea that knowledge must grow in a tree structure from previously accepted ideas. New thinking need not follow established patterns. Rhizomes promotes experimental work located outside current disciplines, work that has no proper location.
Society & Space
A curation of articles, essays, book reviews and interviews on critical geographical concerns.
Space and Culture
Brings together dynamic, critical interdisciplinary research at the interface of cultural geography, sociology, cultural studies, architectural theory, ethnography, communications, urban studies, environmental studies and discourse analysis. SAC features articles on novel topics that are not written about anywhere else, review articles on important topics, and book reviews, notably from international and small presses.
