For the 11th editions of the Journal in World Environment and Island Studies (WEIS), the World Association for Island Studies (WAIS) in partnership with the World Environment and Island Institute of Jeju Island of South Korea, welcomes submissions on the topic of Environmental Governance, Climate Change, Green Growth, Maritime Culture and Island Studies. (Registration of Korean Citation Number 0884 ).

The 2022 Issues of WEIS will be guest edited by Dr. Grant McCall. (Professor at the Dept. of Anthropology, University of Sydney, AU) He calls attention to sustainability in islands and small states as a topic in need of further attention, conceptual development, and empirical research in an age of world environment. We hope submissions for these special issues will re-imagine islands' unique sustainability needs as well as their capacities to engage in global resilience policy.

Submissions are not restricted to scholars in the field of world environment and island studies; those from other disciplines (e.g. anthropology, history, philosophy, political science, and sociology) are welcome to submit papers relevant to this call. The Deadline for Submissions: February 1, 2022 (Spring edition, WEIS Volume 12 Number 1), May 1, 2022 (Summer edition, WEIS Volume 12 Number 2), August 1, 2022 (Fall edition, WEIS Volume 12 Number 3), and November 1, 2022 (Winter edition, WEIS Volume 12 Number 4).
