Journal Overview

The Colour Turn is a peer-reviewed journal that seeks to promote and advance interdisciplinary research into Colour Studies. Colour is a multi-faceted topic that lends itself to inquiry from a wide range of fields within the natural sciences, technological studies and the humanities. As its name figuratively and literally suggests, the aim of the interdisciplinary and international journal Colour Turn is to turn over a new leaf in colour research. The journal invites high-quality research articles and papers that implement innovative approaches—including scientific methodologies, historical re-construction, collection and close reading of old and new materials, empirical experiments, digital humanities, analytical, comparative and critical reviews—that open up new horizons in colour sciences and colour studies. The journal promises a collaborative effort of high-profile editorial and review expertise from all around the world in the field of colour research.
