Abstract

Leonardo journal has become the leading international peer-reviewed journal on the use of contemporary science and technology in the arts and music and the application and influence of the arts and humanities on science and technology. We seek proposals from interested Guest Editors to craft and shepherd themed special sections that invite diverse and intersectional perspectives. The ideal Guest Editor can help to grow and decolonize Leonardo’s contributor network by attracting authors from historically underrepresented demographics including Brown, Black, Indigenous and People of Color; marginalized genders; geographic underrepresentation; and additional historically underrepresented groups. See www.leonardo.info/special-section-proposals.Leonardo Reviews is a scholarly review service published since 1968 by Leonardo. It is the work of a dedicated team of editors led by editor-in-chief Michael Punt and a panel of reviewers drawn from artists, scholars and other leading professionals across the world who are working at the edge of research into the convergence of the arts, science and technology. See www.leonardo.info/reviews.The current calls for papers for Leonardo journal include special sections such as Music and Sound Art; Transcreation: Creativity, Innovation and Empirical Translation; Leonardo STEAM Initiative in Education; and Science and Art: Understanding the Cross-Disciplinary Dialogue. Leonardo is interested in work that crosses the artificial boundaries separating contemporary arts and sciences. Featuring illustrated articles written by artists about their own work as well as articles by historians, theoreticians, philosophers and other researchers, the journal is particularly concerned with issues related to the interaction of the arts, sciences and technology.
