**FROM 2007 VISUAL STUDIES WILL BE PUBLISHED 3 TIMES A YEAR**

Visual Studies is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes visually-oriented articles across a range of disciplines. The journal represents a long-standing commitment to empirical visual research, studies of visual and material culture, the development of visual research methods, and the exploration of visual means of communication about social and cultural worlds. The multidisciplinary character of the journal is reflected in its attention to visually-based research in sociology, anthropology, cultural and media studies, documentary film and photography, information technology, education, communication studies as well as other fields concerned with image-based study.

The journal invites contributions across a broad range, including but not limited to the following:

It is expected that most articles will be accompanied by appropriate visual material, and the journal encourages visually-led submissions.
