> __ The Stanford Humanities Review__ is an award-winning
publication
>that explores current cultural, social, and political issues in an
>on-going interdisciplinary dialogue. Each issue of the journal
centers on
>a contemporary intellectual debate and includes contributions from a
range
>of authors or artists within a multi-national perspective. The
journal
>publishes many cultural orientations and methodological standpoints,
>written in an array of formats that typically would not appear in
the same
>journal. SHR provides Stanford faculty and many other respected
scholars
>with the valuable and often unique opportunity to write for an
audience
>outside their respective disciplines. Our interdisciplinary
approach
>allows authors to see their own work in a broader intellectual and
>artistic context than is generally offered by disciplinary journals.
