The International Journal of Disney Studies is the first journal of the emerging field of Disney studies. It is dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of Disney, an international media conglomerate that permeates our global culture and understanding of wider societal issues and processes. The journal publishes empirical and theoretical research that critically examines and analyses the Walt Disney Company, its intellectual properties and products thereof and their relationship with culture and society. Whilst the study of Disney has been trivialized, the rise of the Walt Disney Company and its permeation within society has continued to have a place within public discourse and contributes to our understanding and shaping of cultures all over the world. This journal will provide much needed dialogue on the study of Disney in all its forms. A key aim of this journal is to continue to advance Disney studies as an interdisciplinary field and be a cornerstone for Disney scholarship as the field continues to progress.
We are particularly interested in papers that discuss a wide range of topics that relate to Disney and its intellectual properties, including but not limited to: history; industry; music; animation; live action films; television; the Disney Channel; Pixar; Lucasfilm; Marvel; Disney Princesses; Disney Villains; Disney+; Disney theatre productions; tourism; theme parks; merchandising; literature; fairy tales; food; Disney audiences; Disney fandom; Disney art; representation and Disney’s relationships with and representation of identity; ethnicity; disability; race; gender; sexuality; and queerness. We welcome articles from academics, students, independent scholars, practitioners and industry professionals from all over the world.
We invite three types of scholarly work:

Editorial Support Submission
Any scholar who would like more informal feedback from the editors before beginning the official peer-review process will have the opportunity to submit their Original Scholarly Article for feedback prior to submission for peer review. This article will be read by a member of the editorial team/board, to provide overall feedback on the structure, argument and content of the article. This will allow scholars to get further feedback for any reason (including, but not limited to, this being a scholar’s first article in this area, a scholar not feeling like they have support from their home institutions or networks, or a simple desire to see if this article is on track for this journal), thus supporting our scholars and further developing research for the journal.
We also publish one Special Issue every four issues. If you are interested in suggesting a theme or guest editing a Special Issue please contact the editors.
