Anthropological Theory Commons (ATC) is your home for author interviews, book review essays, and – above all – short-form theory essays (whether stand-alone or int thematic collections). In terms of short-form theory, ATC is one of the few places where short-form pieces are peer reviewed and given DOIs, and hence more easily valued as scholarship. ATC’s vision is to demonstrate that rigorous scholarship can happen in any length, and moreover that “public-facing” work need not be dumbed down or treated as accessory to the “real scholarship” contained in traditional journals. Moreover, ATC pieces can also act as opportunities for incubating longer projects, such as full-length articles or special issues, that could be pitched to Anthro Theory (or elsewhere) for longer treatment.
