Authors are invited to submit manuscripts based on original research of a documentary, analytical, or interpretive nature. Acceptance of manuscripts for publication is based upon rigorous peer review. Articles should be both scholarly and accessible to a broad readership.

Ed. Pennina Barnett of Goldsmiths College, University of London and Doran Ross, UCLA Fowler Museum of Cultural History
Associate Editor: Mary Littrell, Colorado State University

'This journal has a lot going for it. It is easy to handle, well printed on good paper, imaginatively designed. Any university or college with an interest in textiles should subscribe to it and make it easily available. For individual scholars and makers, the journal provides a useful resource and will be a pleasure to collect and possess.'
Times Higher Education Supplement

Now in its third year, this exciting journal brings together research in textiles in an innovative and distinctive academic forum, and will be of interest to all those who share a multifaceted view of textiles within an expanded field. Representing a dynamic and wide-ranging set of critical practices, it provides a platform for points of departure between art and craft; gender and identity; cloth, body and architecture; labor and technology; techno-design and practice – all situated within the broader contexts of material and visual culture.
Textile invites submissions informed by technology and visual media, history and cultural theory; anthropology; philosophy; political economy and psychoanalysis. It will draw on a range of artistic practices, studio and digital work, manufacture and object production.

We would like to invite submissions. Should you have a topic you would like us to consider, please send an abstract of 300-500 words to one of the following editors:
