Buildings & Landscapes is now looking for papers for volume 31 (2024). Our subject matter includes all aspects of vernacular architecture and urban, suburban, and rural landscapes seen through interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary methods. The editors encourage submission of scholarly articles that integrate fieldwork and archival/primary source research into original arguments about the history of everyday buildings and/or landscapes. See the author’s guidelines here for more information or contact editors Lydia Brandt, lbrandt.usc@gmail.com, and Michael Chiarappa, mchiarappa2@washcoll.edu, for questions or more information. Manuscripts are considered and peer reviewed on a rolling basis, but should be received by April 1, 2023 to be considered for volume 31.
