The editors of boundary 2 announce that they no longer intend to publish in the standard professional areas, but instead will publish only material that identifies and analyzes the tyrannies of thought and action spreading around the world and that suggests alternatives to these emerging configurations of power. To this end, we wish to inform our readers that, until further notice, the journal will not accept unsolicited manuscripts. Authors of accepted manuscripts should follow the boundary 2 style guide.

Copyright, Originality, and AI
Manuscripts submitted to the journal must be based on original research and the careful analysis of primary and secondary source materials. Submission of an article implies that it has not been previously published or simultaneously submitted elsewhere. Please read Duke University Press's "Ethics and Policies for Journals," especially the section titled "Originality and the Use of AI." The use of generative AI must be disclosed in your manuscript in order for it to be published in BOU.
