Seasonal Issues
The launch of Seasonal JadMags in 2018 coincided with the eighth anniversary of Jadaliyya, and ushered in a new era and concept for JadMag, one that was always part of its raison d’etre. Seasonal JadMags are released twice a year, in addition to a third issue that will be specifically geared toward pedagogy on issues pertaining to the Middle East and North Africa. Each JadMag will feature diverse content and offer unique articles or interviews that will not be found on Jadaliyya at the time of publication. Coupling timely content with the addition of essential readings lists, reviews of new books and scholarly articles, and topical pieces from Jadaliyya’s celebrated archives allows the JadMag project more ambitiously to function as a knowledge producer, a near-comprehensive source of analysis on the region, and a pedagogical resource par excellence.
Seasonal JadMags allow our team to produce content on a scale that is timely: coming out every six months, each issue functions as a faithful codex for the most impactful events and analysis in/on the Middle East and North Africa over the course of half a year. Such a format will enable readers to assess broader themes and trends across the region. Seasonal JadMags will provide a resource unmatched elsewhere in the field: combining scholarship with passion, advocacy with practicality, and meaning with metrics, it goes beyond the abilities of traditional academic journals to meet the needs of educators, researchers, and students alike.
