Special Sections:

Urban Colloquy

Urban Colloquy features brief, engaging, and timely essays on contemporary urban issues and emerging intellectual debates. By drawing on UAR Board Members and reviewers, we can promise an expedited peer-review process and publication schedule. We invite UAR readers to take advantage of this opportunity to reflect on our times and the role of urban scholarship.

For examples of this type of article, see UAR, vol 38(1), September 2002

New Directions

New Directions is a section in the Urban Affairs Review that features peer-reviewed articles that use innovative research strategies to address important theoretical and empirical issues. By highlighting a full range of methodological approaches, we hope to encourage urban scholars to move beyond the quantitative debates, conventional case study versus large N orientations, and applied versus basic research. Although reviewers will continue to critically examine the logic of inquiry, the rigor of the analyses, and the unique contributions of each article, they are also being asked to assess innovative and interesting methodological strategies. We invite UAR readers to submit manuscripts that will contribute to the theoretical and methodological diversity of the journal.
