The journal Scope (Art & Design) aims to engage discussion on contemporary research in the visual arts and design. It is concerned with views and critical debates surrounding issues of practice, theory, history and their relationships as manifested through the visual and related arts and activities, such as sound, performance, curation, tactile and immersive environments, digital scapes and methodological considerations. With New Zealand and its Pacific neighbours as a backdrop, but not its only stage, Scope (Art & Design) seeks to address the matters which concern contemporary artists, designers and arts enquirers in their environments of practice.

Scope: Art & Design 28: Special Issue Theme (Fashion)
The theme of this issue is Contemporary Fashion Informed. Kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua | I walk backwards into the future with my eyes fixed on my past, is our framework. This whakataukī speaks to a Māori perspective where the past, the present and the future are intertwined. Similarly, Design cannot be considered independent of the past, current or future contexts. Contributors are encouraged to consider this theme broadly. Submissions from all fields and disciplines that add to critical debates and new understandings of fashion and the fashion system are welcomed.  
For further information about this issue or submissions please enquire to ScopeFashion@op.ac.nz  by 21 February 2025. (APA referencing)

Scope Art & Design 29: Special Issue Them (Hospitality and Tourism)
This special edition invites contributions from hospitality and tourism educators, practitioners, writers, and scholars to explore the future of these sectors. In the rapidly evolving landscape of hospitality and tourism, a tension has emerged between those who wish to preserve traditional practices and those advocating for new and alternative approaches. We are seeking submissions that offer fresh perspectives, stimulate critical discussions and dialogue and address the ongoing disruptions to these sectors, and which can contribute to shaping the future of hospitality and tourism.
We welcome EOIs for all formats to adrian.woodhouse@op.ac.nz, due 18 November 2024.
