The Journal of Latino/Latin American Studies (JOLLAS)
About JOLLAS
The Journal of Latino–Latin American Studies (JOLLAS) is an interdisciplinary, international, peer-reviewed online journal housed at the University of Nebraska at Omaha’s Office of Latino/Latin American Studies (OLLAS).
Scope
JOLLAS publishes scholarship from the humanities and social sciences on topics relevant to Latino Studies and Latin American and Caribbean Studies, broadly defined. We welcome work that engages the Latino experience in the United States and that advances knowledge of, from, and about Latin America and the Caribbean. We also invite scholarship on diasporas, border studies, and transnational, hemispheric, and global dynamics across the Américas. JOLLAS is receptive to diverse theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches, and to studies of all historical periods from colonial times to the present.
We publish special issues, monographic research articles; thematic reviews/review articles and essays; policy briefs; research notes; teaching notes; and invited book reviews. JOLLAS is published twice a year (June and December). Submissions are received and reviewed on a rolling-basis and articles are published online ahead of publication in a numbered issue.
JOLLAS is currently part of Project MUSE where you can find articles starting from Volume 13 (2024). Past articles from its inception in 2003 to 2023 are archived at the University of Omaha's Dr. C.C. and Mabel L. Criss Library Digital Commons.
Originality and related publications
Submissions must be original contributions and may not be under consideration, published, or scheduled for publication elsewhere. If a submission is closely related to work being published in another venue, authors should disclose this in the cover letter.
Languages and translations
JOLLAS publishes in English and Spanish. English translations of previously published Spanish- or Portuguese-language articles may be considered in exceptional cases, provided this is discussed in advance with the editors and appropriate permissions are secured.
