About This Journal
Living in Languages Journal is an international, open-access, peer-reviewed journal devoted to translation across and beyond disciplinary boundaries. We publish scholarship, translations, criticism, and creative and experimental work that approaches translation as a linguistic practice and as a mode of literary, cultural, historical, and theoretical inquiry.
The journal is supported by an editorial community spanning multiple institutions, disciplines, and stages of academic and creative practice. Our editorial team includes scholars affiliated with the State University of New York at Albany’s Department of English, Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures, and Writing and Critical Inquiry Program; Westfield State University’s Department of English; and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst’s Department of Afro-American Studies. Guest editors and contributors further extend this network across institutions and national contexts.
We are committed to linguistic diversity, cultural heterogeneity, open access, and international scholarship. Alongside established scholars, we particularly welcome work by graduate students, early-career researchers, independent scholars, translators, and writers. We understand publication as both intellectual exchange and editorial collaboration, and we aim to provide space for developing work as well as established scholarship.
Living in Languages Journal emerged from the intellectual community surrounding the State University of New York at Albany’s Living in Languages colloquium. The journal has since developed into an independent publication with a broader international and interdisciplinary scope.
Living in Languages Journal is working toward inclusion in the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and the MLA International Bibliography, with broader indexing as a long-term goal. We also aim to have previously published issues indexed, subject to each database’s policies and coverage.
