Oregon Humanities Magazine–Here, Now

The 2011 fall/winter issue of Oregon Humanities magazine is going to be on the theme “Here.”

Editor Kathleen Holt and her editorial board are interested in nonfiction that explores human relationships to place.

How do important places shape and our identities? (I’m thinking of the John Gorka song “I’m from New Jersey. I don’t expect too much. …”) Do places or local artifacts calls us to them (my wife and I once spent a long day looking for relocated WPA postal murals in Denver)?

More broadly, what does regionalism entail? What is the impact of localism, globlism or glocalism for that matter? (Think glocally, act glocally.)

Oregon Humanities is interested in work that explores “Here” in any of the disciplines of the humanites. You can check out their call for submissions, er, here.
