Types:
GeoHumanities publishes papers in four categories: Regular Manuscripts, Practices and Curations, Special Issues, and Forums.
  • Regular Manuscripts—full length scholarly articles that span conceptual and methodological debates in geography and the humanities; critical reflections on analog and digital artistic productions; and new scholarly interactions occurring at the intersections of geography and multiple humanities disciplines. Articles should be a maximum of 8,000 words, including abstract, references, notes, tables, and figure captions.
  • Practices and Curations—shorter creative pieces that cross over between the academy and creative practice. Practices and Curations should be a maximum of 4,000 words, including abstract, references, notes, tables, and figure captions.
  • Special Issues—Special Issues are curated by Editors and include a collection of manuscripts on a focused topic. Two types of manuscripts are published: Regular Manuscripts of approximately 4,000 words and Practices and Curations of approximately 2,000 words. Abstracts of potential manuscripts will be solicited via an open call and are by invitation only, led by a GeoHumanities Editor, and based on the evaluation of the abstracts.
  • Forums—Forums are a collection of short papers on a focused topic that are published together in the journal. Forums are an opportunity to showcase and advance significant intellectual insights in the discipline in a coherent and collective way. Forums consist of an introduction (2,500 words) and short individual papers (4,000 words each for Regular Manuscripts and 2,000 words each for Practices and Curations), with a maximum total word limit of 20,000. A forum is proposed by a forum organizer, and if accepted, the forum organizer works in tandem with an Editor to guide the papers through the peer review process. Forum proposals should provide a background and context, table of contents (with titles, brief abstracts, and brief biographies of contributors), timeline, and justification of the forum’s significance and relevance to the GeoHumanities audience.

Stephen Hanna is a full professor of geography and former chair of the Department of Geography at University of Mary Washington. His cartographic editorial experience is extensive, for example, Hanna has served as the cartography editor for two edited volumes on tourism, Mapping Tourism and Social Memory and Heritage Tourism Methodologies, as well as produced dozens of maps for personal publications in both academic and public outlets. As cartography editor, Hanna “enjoys engaging with a wide variety of graphics including some innovative ways of visualizing both qualitative and quantitative information.”

Hanna’s research is focused on critical cartography and heritage tourism, and his expertise is well documented in numerous cartographic projects. Some of his most recent NSF-funded team research involved investigating how slavery is (or is not) addressed in the landscapes, narratives, and performance that constitute southern plantation museums as heritage places.

In addition to ensuring that the maps and figures printed in the AAG suite of journals meet high quality cartographic standards, Hanna envisions his role as editor to include continued mentorship of students, a key component of his current work at an undergraduate focused institution.

Hanna offers the following advice for prospective publishers in geography: “As cartography editor, I’m focused on the maps people create to accompany their articles. Please don’t settle for the default map design options found in most GIS software packages. Take a little time to consider how best to encourage your readers to spend some time examining your maps. After all, you are including them to clearly communicate your findings or to support your argument.”

GeoHumanities has two editors, each of whom serve a four year term, and are assisted with editorial responsibilities by a cartography editor and an editorial board, while staff from the AAG and Taylor & Francis manage various aspects of the production process.
