ISR seeks out contributions that measure up to the highest excellence in scholarship but that also speak to an audience of intelligent non-specialists. It actively explores the differing trajectories of the disciplines and practices in its purview, to clarify what each is attempting to do in its own terms, so that constructive dialogue across them is strengthened. It focuses whenever possible on conceptual bridge-building and collaborative research that nevertheless respect disciplinary variation. ISR features thematic issues on broad topics attractive across the disciplines and publishes special issues derived from wide-ranging interdisciplinary colloquia and conferences.
For further information, visit the Editor's site. 

Forthcoming issues will focus on:

  • Seeing science: the sight/insight of Scandinavian art
  • Musicology and the sciences
  • History and human nature
  • Design science
  • Power structures in science
  • The unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics
  • Senso-aesthetic materials

See the Special Issues link to the right for details and purchase information for recent themed issues.

Willard McCarty's research is concerned principally with two things: humanities computing, and bridge-building between the humanities and the sciences.
