Journals

First World War Studies

First World War Studies is a peer-reviewed, scholary journal that is the flagship publication of the International Society for the First World War Studies. In keeping with our Society’s objectives, the journal aims to showcase a wide range of approaches to the conflict, be they local, national, comparative or transnational in scope. We also publish articles breaking down disciplinary boundaries. The journal approaches the subject of the First World War without chronological, geographic, or topical constraints. It embraces not merely the period associated with the years between 1914 and 1918, but seeks to include the diplomatic, political, social, cultural, and military complexities evident before, during, and most certainly after the cessation of hostilities. The journal contributes to the ongoing debates concerning the origins and causes, conduct, and legacies of the First World War. UNC Charlotte’s department of history is the founding institution of the journal.
